Old app: Hanping Chinese Classic 3.1.2 released!

Now that we have recently released a brand new free version of Android’s most popular Chinese dictionary, the old free app has been renamed to Hanping Chinese Classic.

If your Android device is running Gingerbread 2.3 (or higher) you will most probably want to install the new Hanping Chinese Dictionary Lite app (and uninstall this Classic app if necessary).  You can also keep both apps installed at the same time, if you wish. But it is probably a good idea to close (Force Stop) one app before opening the other.

Changes in this update:

  • Google Play will no longer show this Classic app for devices running Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) or higher.  If you prefer this app to the new Lite app and are running Ice Cream Sandwich or higher, then you can still use it by downloading it here
  • Updated screenshots and info about Hanping Chinese Camera app
  • Minor bug fixes

This is a bugfix release on the beta version released earlier this year.

  • Some old Gingerbread devices (predominantly Samsung ones) were showing the Live view sideways. This is now fixed, but if you are still having problems see the Compatibility section of the Settings screen to control it
  • Renamed app from Hanping Chinese OCR to Hanping Chinese Camera
  • Supports Move to SD card
  • Fixed crash when attempting to complete Hanping Chinese Dictionary installation from Camera app
  • More bug fixes
If you see any bugs, such as a stretched/rotated Live preview, please email us.

Available from the Google Play Store.

Hanping Chinese Dictionary Pro 3.2.8 released!

  • Better navigation – in older versions of Hanping, it could take many Back-presses to go back through all the dictionary entries to get to the Search screen.  Long-pressing the Back button has always been the fast-track way to do this.  However, hacking the Back button in this way goes against Android standards, so now we have replaced this with a simple click on the top-left app icon. So, if ever you want to go “up” from the Browse screen to the Search screen, simply press the top-left app icon.
  • Improved 中文/English dictionary switching – for those of you with the ABC English-to-Chinese Dictionary installed there is now a better way to switch between Chinese and English headwords (when searching English words only). Replacing the recently-introduced 中文/English sub tab, there is now a discrete button which overlays the search results in the top-right corner. This has two main advantages:
    • Takes up much less screen real estate – especially important in landscape mode
    • The button is available even if you have scrolled down through the results – so no need to scroll to the top of the search results just to do the switch
 
  • Starred/tag lists are now merged across languages – also only applicable to those with the ABC English-to-Chinese Dictionary installed. Let’s suppose you have the tag “food” and you have tagged both Chinese words and English words with this tag. Now, when you click on the “food” tag list, you will see a button in the top-left corner allowing you to switch between viewing the English words tagged “food” and the Chinese words tagged “food”
  • Fixed handwriting bug where sometimes very complex characters were not being recognized properly
  • Minor bug fixes
Available from the Google Play Store (Lite & Pro).

Hanping Chinese Dictionary Pro 3.2.5/3.2.6 released!

October 26th, 2012 . Posted in Hanping Chinese Dictionary | Comments Off on Hanping Chinese Dictionary Pro 3.2.5/3.2.6 released!
Tags: ,
3.2.6 is a bug fix update because of a bug introduced in 3.2.5 which affected widgets and left/right swiping (on Browse screen) on older (Gingerbread) devices.  If you were not experiencing any issues with 3.2.5 then there is no need to update.
  • Much faster pinyin searches for ABC Chinese-English dictionary
We’ll be making more performance improvements in the coming days/weeks but this one was too good to hold back!

Available from the Google Play Store (Lite & Pro).

  • Action Bar UI goodness for both Search and Browse screens
    • Search screen:
      • Moved History/Starred/Lists tab bar to top of screen (which is more standard on Android)
      • Search box now remains visible when switching between those tabs. This reduces the chance that you have to press Back an excessive number of times to exit the app.  It also keeps the visible state of the app more consistent

      • Moved “action” items (e.g. star, play audio, copy to clipboard) to bottom of screen
      • Moved out-of-place (Search and Links icons) next to other action items at bottom of screen
      • Moved up/down navigation controls to top of screen
      • Removed “Back” icon – just use hardware Back button instead
      • More improvements to this screen coming soon
  • Tidied up icons with better support for both day and night modes
  • Enabled hardware acceleration on all screens
  • Minor bug fixes
