Bug ID: 65458
Summary: the app should register itself as a handler for shared
text (and look up it)
Product: Wikipedia App
Version: Android (stable)
Hardware: Smartphone
OS: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized

I'm using Version 1.3.4 of the Android app from the F-Droid repo (
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=wikipedia&fdid=org.wikipedia ).
The thing that I'd wish to have and which I believe will be convenient for most
Android users is the ability to look up the selected text (everywhere, not in
the Wikipedia app) in Wikipedia wiht a simple action, namely, sharing it.
The Wikipedia app should register itself as a handler for the text being shared
(and look up it).
I believe it's quite a simple thing. For example, I know the Easy Open Link app
(
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=url&fdid=de.audioattack.openlink
) to open URLs via select and share. The only difference would not to open the
URL, but to make Wikipedia look it up.
As a work-around, I can also imagine a very simple app--a modification the Easy
Open Link app--which would make up the query URL fro Wikipedia and open it in a
browser.
