AnyMemo is a spaced repetition flashcard learning software. It implements a slightly modified Mnemosyne algorithm to maximize the learning efficient. The key features are as follows:

  • Well tested and highly efficient Mnemosyne algorithm for fast learning
  • Text-to-Speech feature to aid language learning. Support multiple languages
  • PC tool is provided to convert Mnemosyne XML, CSV, tab TXT file to the database
  • A collection of database is provided in Market to try out.
  • Text format can be changed to fit different database and screen size.
  • Each flashcard can be edited or deleted on the device.
  • Simple, easy-to-use and power saving interface.

Configure your PC for Development

For non-IDE users:

$ git clone git://github.com/helloworld1/AnyMemo.git
$ cd AnyMemo
$ android update project —name AnyMemo —target 1 —path ./
$ ant debug

Congratulations! You can find compiled APK in bin directory.

Configuring for Eclipse environment: (Under construction)

Install Eclipse, Android SDK, Eclipse GIT plugin

  • Install Eclipse (3.5 Galileo, not 3.6 Helios) NOTE: Eclipse was running out of memory so I added “-vmargs -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M” to my Eclipse command-line options.
  • Follow the Android SDK installation instructions including the Eclipse plugin installation and JDK, etc.
  • Make sure you go to the Android SDK folder and install Android platform 2.2 or later. (If you have trouble, make sure you tell it not to use https.)
  • Make sure you configure the Android SDK location in the Android Eclipse plugin. Go to Window, Preferences, Android, and browse to the Android SDK directory. Then click apply, and ok.
  • Install Eclipse GIT eclipse plugin.

Import AnyMemo Git Repository

  • From Eclipse, go to the git repository exploring perspective.
  • Right click in the git repositories pane, and pick “import git repository.”
  • For URI, enter git://github.com/helloworld1/AnyMemo.git and click next.
  • Use all default values and click next until finished.
  • Exit Eclipse.

Create Empty Eclipse Android Project

  • Rename AnyMemo directory you just imported to AnyMemo2
  • Start Eclipse.
  • In the new project wizard dialog, select android, android project, and click next.
  • Pick a project name (AnyMemo)
  • Select your desired build target (Android 2.2 recommended)
  • Select a location (I use the default.)
  • Fill out the properties as follows (this is likely unnecessary since I think we need to later overwrite them.:)
  • App name: AnyMemo
  • Package name: org.liberty.android.fantastischmemo
  • Create Activity: .AnyMemo (note: it’s dot AnyMemo)
  • Min SDK Version: 4
  • Click finish.
  • Exit Eclipse

Replace Empty Project with AnyMemo Git Repository Contents

  • Copy the Git repository folder earlier imported over the new project folder overwriting all the existing files.
  • Start Eclipse.
  • Right click on the AnyMemo project, properties, Java Build Path, libraries tab.
  • Click add Jars, AnyMemo project, libs/TTS_library_stub_2.0_market.jar, OK.
  • Errors should disappear and you’ll have a bunch of warnings.

Enable Git

  • Right click the AnyMemo project, click Team, Share Project.
  • Select Git, Next.
  • Click Create Repository, finish.

Build and Execute AnyMemo on Simulator

  • Right click on the AnyMemo project, and click run as Android application.
  • Answer yes if you haven’t installed an Android virtual device.
  • Click new, give it a name you like (My Android)
  • SD Card Size 512MB or whatever size you want. AnyMemo needs an SD card.
  • Click Create AVD.
  • Click Start.
  • Click Launch.
  • Choose the running Android device and hit OK.
  • Wait for the Android simulator to start up. (This takes a while! ~5 minutes on my PC.)
  • You’ll get a bunch of timeouts in the Eclipse console while the simulator boots “android.util.AndroidException: Can’t connect to activity manager; is the system running?”. Ignore them and be patient.
  • Eclipse will likely give up if you didn’t pre-start the simulator, so right click the project and run as Android application. This time it should successfully start the AnyMemo application.

How to access the repository using command-line git:

Use “git” to maintain the source code.

To pull the source code, you need:
$ git pull git://github.com/helloworld1/AnyMemo.git

Then make your own branch
$ git branch my-branch

Then you can checkout to it:
$ git checkout my-branch

Then commit as normal
$ git commit -a -m ‘my commit’

If you want to submit patches, please use:
$ git format-patch origin

You can submit the patches through anymemo’s bugzilla:
