Re: [lojban] Best free offline Android apps for learning Lojban?

[Jonathan Jones <eyeonus@gmail.com>]

Yes, all of the Lojban materials are available. You might need to look for them, but if you ask on here, someone will know where to find what you're looking for.

Also, Memrise has an API, and although it's very basic at this point, it might be enough to make a working app out of.

The documentation is here: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/faq/

This is an example, wherein we request the list of all courses for Lojban:
http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/iset/?format=json&topic__slug=lojban&limit=37

This is an example, the second set of 100 words in the "Simplified Gismu" course, including all applicable information such as definition:
http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/itemiset/?format=json&iset__slug=simplified-gismu-2&limit=100&offset=100

And finally, this is an example wherein we request all the "mems" of the item "cmalu" in the "Simplified Gismu" course:
http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/mem/?format=json&item=191558

Everything is json formatted. The API developer stated he might make other schemes available.

Not everything is documented, either. I had to figure out the mem one on my own. You can get a (json formatted) list of all available commands by going to the following urls:
iset: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/iset/schema/
item: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/item/schema/
itemiset: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/itemiset/schema/
itemuser: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/itemuser/schema/
lsession: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/lsession/schema/
mem: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/mem/schema/
topic: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/topic/schema/
user: http://www.memrise.com/api/1.0/user/schema/

The developer also mentioned that the API is read only at this point, so you can't do anything that would change server data.

That's about as much help as I can give you as far as materials. You can access everything on Memrise that there is using that API, AFAICT.

As far as the logic for the "gardening", I don't think it's currently possible to use the API to login in as a user, so it's not possible sync with the Memrise site, but other than that I don't think it'd be /too/ difficult.

I'm an Android developer in my day job these days, so I may take a
look at this. Vocabulary is my main thing to learn to improve. Knowing
the grammar and looking up 3/4s of the words in a sentence is hardly
knowing Lojban.

I'm not sure how complex memrise would be to clone, though. Are the
materials (ie. the Lojban corpus data) available, at least? How
complex are the logic for displaying and testing, and the visuals?

I suppose I should look into using memrise online first and find out.
