I used Jade Reader for a while and it was an ok app, but some features were simply missing. That's why I made my own rikai-based reading app for android. I never really bothered advertising it, but when I found this thread I though someone might find it useful.
The APK can be downloaded from here:
https://github.com/jahu00/Rikaikyun/releases
Known bugs:
- when you load a big (*cough* 500kB) documents the app becomes sluggish (switching between reading and menu can be even slower)
- images take whole screen
- on newer Android systems copy/paste helper can appear when you tap on selected text
- there is no onscreen back button (at least not in the released APK)
- the font cannot be changed
The source code is a total mess (this was my first bigger JS app and I don't feel motivated enough to rewrite the whole thing), however I'm still working on ironing out the bugs mentioned above and I'm thinking about adding EPUB support.
The highlights of the app are:
- name and kanji dictionary
- Ruby furigana support
- some basic HTML formatting
- image support
- neat progress bar
The app works best with UTF-8 files and supports HTML and TXT files. There might be some other quirks too (the stuff I read is full of paragraph tags, so if your files are not, they might a little off).
P.S. The kyun in the name of was inspired by a certain YMO song and the app was based on Rikai-kun, so...
Edit: I released a new beta version of the app a few days ago. I managed to improve app's speed and add document navigation (among other things).
