Frequently Asked Questions

I can't find where to import/export wiki list data.

The wiki list importing/exporting are hidden features since it's seldom used.
- To import: Copy data.json to INTERNAL/Android/data/top.donmor.tiddloid/files/ before running for the first time. If you have previously run the program, clear the data in Settings/Apps and copy the file.
- To export: Install Tiddloid Tweaks plugin, then Click Export Data in Control Panel/Appearance/Tiddloid Tweaks. A data.json will be generated under INTERNAL/Android/data/top.donmor.tiddloid/files/.
How to apply UI tweaks?

Install Tiddloid Tweaks plugin and:
- Apply theme color: Select Enabled in Control Panel/Appearance/Tiddloid Tweaks/Apply theme color to system bars. If Light / Dark only is selected, only light/dark mode is switched.
- Hide toolbar: Select Enabled in Control Panel/Appearance/Tiddloid Tweaks/Hide toolbar on loading complete. If Landscape only is selected, the toolbar will be hidden only if in landscape mode.
- Custom actions: to create a config tiddler and edit it following the instructions.
How to get Tiddloid Tweaks installed?
- Enable Tweaks plugin auto-update in per-wiki settings. The plugin will be prepared for installation/update as soon as the page loaded.
- Or fetch the .tid file from releases page and import it.
The file imported from Google Drive won't sync with other devices.

Try marking the file for "offline access" in Google Drive app. (Thanks to @tedric42's feedback)
I encountered a Javascript error followed by a white screen in newly created files.

Check your Android version. TiddlyWiki 5.1.23 has critical bugs on Android 5.1 and below (WebView 39). A solution is to get a new version that had this bug fixed, or a previous version without this bug.
My wiki list change its order randomly every time.

Check your Android version. One of the functions in the JSON library behaves differently below 4.4, causing random wiki list order bug on KitKat devices. We recommend you to use Tiddloid on Oreo(8) to enable all of its features.
Sometimes there are random characters under the page.

Check your Android and Tiddloid version. There could be a bug in Android 10 filesystem API causing the files not correctly closed. Has been fixed in Tiddloid 2.3.0. Put corrupted files in [Internal]/Android/data/top.donmor.tiddloid/files and cold start into wiki list to trigger a batch fix (May OOM when large files loaded). We recommend you to use Tiddloid on Oreo(8) to enable all of its features.
There are lags if WebDAV Wikis added.

Sometimes a slow connection to your server blocks the application. Sorry :(
I upgraded from 1.4 and all of my TiddlyWikis added before no longer to work.

Check if your system revoked local storage accessing permissions. Local (Legacy) mode (which directly accesses local files) disabled on new installations by default. To enable it, Open "WebDAV / Local (Legacy)" and press the button on the top-left corner.
I can't find Add to Tiddloid in floating menus in other apps.
- Android 11 put a limit on all apps, preventing them from fetching complete application list, that's why it disappeared. It's still functional in legacy apps and some apps with certain hacks.
I still want to add Local (Legacy) wikis.
- Open "WebDAV / Local (Legacy)" and press the button on the top-left corner.
- Or Install a file manager designed for old versions of Android that opening files by passing file://URIs, open a HTML file, and choose Add to Tiddloid.
- Or select some text containing file://URI, press Share->Add to Tiddloid.

Why there's a Tiddloid Lite? What's the difference between the two versions?

In the past 1.x days, Tiddloid use legacy file:// ways to handle files, causing the lack of access to cloud medias. Later I made another branch that implements Android's SAF (i.e. Storage Access Framework), and finally it became a lightweight version. Now since Tiddloid 2.0 has been refactored to use SAF, there'll be no more functional updates for Tiddloid Lite, only bug fixes will be applied, and it'll remain LITE.

Here's the difference between different versions:

Feature	Tiddloid 1.x	Tiddloid 2.0 and above	Tiddloid Lite
File API	Java File API	Android Storage Access Framework and also Java File API	Android Storage Access Framework
Backup system	Yes	Yes	No
Search-and-Fork system	Yes	No (Instead it receives shared URLs from browsers and show options to save the page)	No
Downloader	Yes	No	No
Direct access to files in the same folder	Yes	Partial (Legacy, or TiddlyWiki folders by caching all files)	No
Cloud Service	No	Yes (via SAF)	Yes (via SAF)
WebDAV client	No	Yes	No
Template	Download on first startup, manually updated	Download on creating new wiki, and cached in case it is unable to access the Internet	Download on creating new wiki
Compatibility	Supports most of Android versions and most of TiddlyWikis	Supports latest Android versions best and supports most of TiddlyWikis	Supports latest Android versions best and supports most of TW5
Recommended Android version	Android 4.4 ~ 9.0	Android 4.4 and above, best for 8.0	Android 4.4 and above, best for 8.0
