# Kiwix Android Kiwix is an offline reader for Web content. One of its main purposes is to make Wikipedia available offline. This is done by reading the content of a file in the ZIM format, a highly compressed open format with additional meta-data. This is the version for Android. Kiwix Android is written in [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org/) (with a few old pieces in Java).

If you prefer to build without Android Studio you must first set up the Android SDK and then run the command: `./gradlew build ` from the root directory of the project. Kiwix-Android is a multi-module project, in 99% of scenarios you will want to build the `app` module in the `debug` configuration.
