AnkiDroid (beta)

You can now use Anki on Android, directly accessible from the Android Market. Don't hesitate to post your questions and comments on the forum :-D

An alternative is to run AnkiMini on your device. Since this currently has full syncing support & SRS support which the native client does not, this may be a better option. See the bottom of this page for more info.

Installation and usage

Copy your .anki deck(s) to the root of the SD card.

In the Android Market, search for "anki". In the results, click on "Ankidroid", then on "Install".

Anki should be in your list of installed applications. Click it, a directory listing appears and shows the decks you copied to the SD card. Click a deck to view random cards from it. Click the Whiteboard button for an overlay to write on.

Here is a video showing the whole procedure.

How to download a pre-existing .anki deck

You can download pre-existing decks from the Anki users' collection:

Note: Backup decks do not work.

Using AnkiMini

AnkiMini offers syncing and full SRS support, which is not currently available in the native client.

Some Android devices have a problem where the local server is not accessible unless internet access is available. It won't cost you anything since data is served locally, but if you lose access on a plane/in a tunnel/etc you will not be able to continue reviewing until you gain net access again. This issue seems to be limited to certain devices, so you will need to see for yourself if you are affected or not.
