I still have not had a chance to try Nick's suggestion, but I am wondering about a recent discovery. My Android phone updated the Wikipedia app last night. I noticed in the What's New list that one of the new items is "We went native! Looks gorgeous on your device, and is much faster, too." Something changed in the styling in an effort to make the application look like native applications. The date of the change is 25 June, which is consistent with the breakage of my application. Does anyone know what actually changed? Are the people who actually made that change subscribers to this mailing list? Ryan Kaldari reported that the CSS specification for the body element did not change, so it seems as if there is some other way to change the appearance to make it look "native".
