Enable the app to load an article from an existing zim file
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

Some notes from our estimation meeting:

  • We need to know where the article came from cache, ZIM, web, etc. We definitely need to know if it is from a ZIM compilation or not (and which ZIM it was from!).
  • Do we need to know whether this came from a list or not?

Hi, I haven't worked with ZIM files before, please write some Testing Criteria steps so I know what results to expect vs. what has not been working properly. I can also ask @ABorbaWMF if he might know about this area as TSG's Andy and I will be talking with him this week.

Hello, I am also having some trouble figuring out the steps for this. I tried downloading some wikipedia zim files from kiwix.com, but I cannot open the files at all from the download folder. What are some good steps to reproduce this one?

Tested on a Nexus 4 with Android 5.1 and a Pixel with Android 7.1.1 on 2.6.201-alpha-2017-08-11

This looks good. I tried a number of zim files found on kiwix and they appear in the offline compilations.
