The Android OS is so splintered that most apps will fail on some of the devices, especially the older and cheaper devices. But so many people flout the weaknesses in the system. People have a right to complain if they buy a product and it isn't "fit for purpose" - in any local jurisdiction that would suit the requirements of any Trade Practices Act or similar. Perhaps the best "solution" to supporting your friend is to recommend he take his app off the market, re-package it for tablets with 4.1 Android, and refund the money of all else who have paid? I wish dmjo00 wouldn't flaunt his own ignorance on this list where people are seeking reliable support and guidance. YOUR email confuses support for ?your friends? with support for Zotero itself, and confuses so many issues in your final paragraph it becomes worthless - perhaps the answer, if one MUST use Zotero, is to use Zotpad on the IPAD, but that bears no relationship to the Android issue. "they" did NOT try if they don't respond to AFTERSALES emails seeking support. The app is MARKETED thru the Market BY the developer as being able to run on ALL (current - v1.5+) Android devices, certainly 2.3 - the app adds NO value if it doesn't work DUH!!!

Back on the computer, you would have to use ZotFile to move the modified attachments back to Zotero.īUT it is NOT, and never has been, a FREE appĪnd for many PHONES on the market the LATEST version of Android IS 2.3 - it's not that some are "behind the times" it's what is called "market segmentation" where different devices run different OSes (pardon YOUR ignorance).

It saves automatically on close (or when it's no longer in the foreground),

On the tablet, I use Adobe Reader to annotate the PDFs.

On my tablet, I have DropSync (android app), which automatically syncs new attachments from that DropBox folder to the tablet and also syncs up any modifications I make on the tablet back to DropBox.

use ZotFile to move the articles I am currently interested in to a DropBox folder.

To sync between computers and Android tablet, I I use box.net to sync file attachments between computers. (v=vs.85).aspx This allows you to link to an arbitrary directory from within the dropbox folder, so you can maintain your folder layout and don't have to move the dropbox folder around.

ZotFile settings can be different on each computer.Īdditionally, you can now create directory junctions in Windows (sort of like symlinks in Unix). The DropBox folder will need to be in the same place in the file structure of both PCs (Windows 7) I think that's it-any thoughts on whether or not this will be effective? (Using a journal/year format to aid in retrieval) Does anyone know if the DropBox folder can be placed in the root directory (C:/)?ģ) ZotFile will be used to rename and relocate attachments to the DropBox folder. (Database sync will be left to Zotero.)Ģ) The DropBox folder will need to be in the same place in the file structure of both PCs (Windows 7). Here's my proposed workflow-please comment!ġ) Because Zotero storage does not allow easy access and re-uploading of attachments from Android, I'll need to use something like DropBox for attachment syncing. Therefore, it seems I need to get creative. It seems that the Zandy app *almost* does everything I need it to, but the editing of attachments (annotating) is something it doesn't currently support. However, the addition of the Android tablet gets into the Wild West of Zotero.

* At other times, I've also used Box.net/WebDAV or DropBox (on just the attachments, not the database), but Zotero Storage works pretty well for the two PC sync (and it's good to support the devs!) * ZotFile to rename files within the Zotero database and to extract annotations (just discovered this feature-very cool) * Use Zotero storage to syncronize database and attachments (<2GB) How I currently work (across a desktop PC and a laptop PC): I'm adding an Android tablet to my workflow for reading and annotating PDFs, and I'd like to get some input on my proposed workflow. I've been using Zotero and ZotFile for over a year now in my PhD program, and this is some truly amazing software.
