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.

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.

This is a minor bugfix update on yesterday’s 3.2.9 release. Fixed English Text-to-Speech bug (only applicable if you have ABC English-Chinese installed) Fixed rare bug in Tag Selector dialog Better text sizing for character suggestions in handwriting recognition Available from the Google Play Store (Lite & Pro).

Improved experience when downloading/installing audio and ABC dictionaries Fixed some bugs when tagging starred words Minor bug fixes Available from the Google Play Store (Lite & Pro).

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.

Faster searching - improved Hanzi, Pinyin and English searches Minor bug fixes Available from the Google Play Store (Lite & Pro).

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 Browse screen: Moved “action” items (e.
