Thank you for your feedback. Offline viewing (page downloading) is available for bookmarks. To activate select the 'Bookmark Options' from the overflow menu within the bookmarks section. 
The last version was better The last version had categories where you could look up a large topic like "Horse" for example and it would show you a list of articles and topics related to "Horse". I liked that a lot better because sometimes I don't exactly know what I'm looking for but I know what subject I'm looking for.

Arabic Wikipedia Offline ABS
TYO Lab
1
Arabic Wikipedia Offline (the Abstract Version) is developed from the Wikie Talkie App enclosed with partial Arabic Wikipedia offline data. The App contains abstract (summary) of all Arabic Wikipedia articles (as for 20140603), so even without connecting to the Internet, you still can read summaries of all articles. Whenever Internet is available, the full Wikipedia articles can be set to be pulled from Wikipedia server automatically.
The App is embedded with a powerful mobile search engine to make your information retrieval task easy and enjoyable.
It needs to be noted that the Wikipedia data used in the App may contain incomplete abstract for some articles. A couple of sample entries are given as follows:
"Nintendo”:| abbreviated_name = Nintendo
etc.
We are planning to improve the quality of data in near future.
Thank you for your support.
World Map
WorldMap is a simple Android app that displays a map of the world taken from Wikimedia (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Physical_Political_World_Map.jpg), and allows the user to scroll around on it.
The map itself is quite large (6480,3888), so it's way too big to fit in memory all at once (6480 x 3888 x 32 / 8) = 100,776,960 -- over 96 megs. The VM heap size Android supports is eith 16 or 24 megs, so we can't fit the whole thing in memory at once.
So WorldMap uses the BitmapRegionDecoder API (available as of API 10) to decode just what it needs to display.
WorldMap is open source, and the source code is here: https://github.com/johnnylambada/WorldMap
