Android Browser

[Jason Peterson]

All,

This weekend Firefox did an update for the mobile firefox app and now I cannot open my tiddlywiki5 file anymore.  I am looking for any browser that can open it again on my adroid device.  I have tried the following

Chrome

firefox

Cake

Opera

Puffin

UC Browser Turbo

Dolphin

and Web browser

I love tiddlywiki and have an extensive one I have created for a quick reference for my hobby and it has been a godsend.

Thank you all for any help you can provide.

Jason

Hi Jason, 

I use Firefox Nightly or Brave on any versions of tw5. Both fork quite well as we speak.
Cheers,

Xavier.

I don't think that this is particularly new ... Firefox has intentionally not exposed itself as an "intent" ( ... I believe that is the term ... ) for opening local html files for a while ... I'm not sure if it is for security reasons or difficulty dealing with Googles content:// URIs. I think they may have recently gotten rid of other UI features to open local files which is kind of annoying. Chrome should work though ... just not the stripped down Chrome viewer that sometimes pops up to preview stuff ... you will have to choose "Open with" from there and choose Chrome.

However, Firefox can open file:/// URLs. Typing "file:///sdcard/" (notice the 3 x "/") into the Firefox location bar should get you a directory listing of your flash memory. Then you can browse to the location of your tiddlywiki and open it and bookmark it or "Add to Home screen" and treat it like an app. The awkward bit is saving changes since it will just download to a non-conflicting filename ... adding (1), (2), etc. and you will have to go through an awkward rename loop.

The "sdcard"  part of the path might be different on your device ... it could be "file:///storage/emulated/0/" or something like that. The full path is discoverable using some third party file manager utilities.

You are right. They have removed most browser AddOns from FF for Android. The default file saver still works. BUT you can't select a file to overwrite.

It is completely bugged atm.

Have you tried the TiddlyWiki app for android ? https://tiddlywiki.com/#Saving%20on%20Android

I thought there was another app?

I have tried using Tiddloid Lite and I keep getting a small “data error” message when importing a new wiki file. Tried with  a new Empty wiki and got the same message. 

Not sure what is wrong with it

On first try Quinoid appears to work fine. And can access the SD card!
