Overview

This is the second alpha release of the Oppia Android app, and brings new functionality to enable it for planned user studies. Burndown milestone: https://github.com/oppia/oppia-android/milestone/22.

Features & changes in this release include:

  • Smarter lesson recommendations which provide the user with knowledge-based guidance through topics (particularly, the user will be directed to the next lesson that they've demonstrated via prerequisites that should be next in their learning journey)
  • Introduction of confetti to celebrate correct answers & the ending of a lesson
  • Support for rendering LaTeX rather than requiring it to be replaced within lessons
  • Fixes for blurring lesson thumbnails & adding a lock for lessons that aren't yet ready to play
  • Support for four topics: Place Values, Multiplication, Fractions, and Ratios
  • Support for directly embedding lessons within the app
  • Far-reaching stabilization work via test & corresponding bug fixes

The binaries attached to this release have all four topics fully bundled so they should work with offline support from the get-go.

Note also that the question player was disabled starting in this release due to there not yet being production-ready question banks to publish for supported topics.

Finally, as with Alpha MR1, this release also has its auto-expiration disabled for inspection purposes. Neither binary should be used for actual production usage. Instead, please contact the team if you're interested in getting access to the pre-release version of the app.
