About this application
This application is available both as online application and as android app. It was written as a hybrid html5 application with most of the application logic being implemented in Javascript. The online version uses a simple PHP backend for data retrieval whereas the android version uses phonegap. In both cases an sqlite database is used as dictionary store. The source code of this app is available on github.
You can find my rather minimalistic homepage containing information about other dictionary sources and various other bits and pieces about Tibetan Buddhism and computing at: www.christian-steinert.de
