GoldenDict 1.7.2 for Android - Indexing after each start

franc · Yesterday, 04:16 AM

Hello

since long I use GoldenDict for Android (also for Mac and Win) and since my new phone with Android 14 (now 15) I have the issue, that on each use it asks me:

"The following dictionaries are to be indexed before they can be used"

and all my dictionarys are to indexed for further use, it might seem.
I noticed soon, that I can just ignore it and go on with 'Skip' and all works, but it is annoying.
I checked all permissions and none is restricted.

The app is very old and not anymore supported, see:

http://goldendict.mobi/

the version 1.7.2 can be donwloaded for free and licensed. On Github its only Mac and Win:

Anyone still uses GoldenDict 1.7.2 and knows how to get rid of this message on start?
Thanks. frank

I use GoldenDict with Librera on various Android devices with Android 14 and 15 without problems. Have you tried uninstalling GoldenDict and reinstalling it? Make sure to clear cache and storage in the Settings app plus deleting the folder for GoldenDict before re-installing, just to make sure.

I have a device with Android 16 (Viwoods AI Paper Reader) where GoldenDict closes itself at once after I installed/indexed the dictionaries. Strange behaviour. A good replacement on Android is ColorDict. A disadvantage is that you can't include external dictionary folders from other apps.

Alternatively, you could try a modded version of the app: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?show...st&p=107822834. That's the latest modded version 2.4. I use it on several Android devices without problems.

You might have to install it with adb:

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block GoldenDict2.4.0.apk

When I click on the link https://4pda.to/forum/dl/post/233093...nDict2.4.0.apk I always get a 404 ("Ой! Ошибка 404.") even when I allow cookies. Changing the user agent also gets me a 404.
