ChanExplorer is an 4Chan browser for Android. It is designed to augment 4chan for mobile browsing, it has a similar purpose to 4Chan X. Currently ChanExplorer is no longer available on the Play store.

ChanExplorer is available on F-Droid. Go to F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=co.wakarimasen.chanexplorer) to download the latest APK. Alternatively, you can download the F-Droid App, and install it from there which will also provide you with automated updates.

ChanExplorer was built with Eclispe and targets Gingerbread (API Level 10).

• Android SDK
• Android NDK
• Android v4 Compat
• Android v7 Compat
• ActionBarSherlock (4.1.0)
• SlidingMenu
• Google Guava

Assuming you are already set up with Android:

Eclipse Build Instructions

1. Clone ChanExplorer git clone git@github.com:wakarimasenco/ChanExplorer.git
2. Import ChanExplorer into your Workspace as “Existing Android Code into Workspace” (File > Import > Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace)
3. Git Clone ActionBarSherlock@4.1.0 and SlidingMenu@7343c3cdc73. (ABS 4.1.0 can be downloaded here - http://actionbarsherlock.com/download, and for SlidingMenu you can run git clone https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu
4. In SlidingMenu, delete the file /src/com/slidingmenu/lib/app/SlidingMapActivity.java
5. In SlidingMenu, in the file /src/com/slidingmenu/lib/app/SlidingFragmentActivity.java replace extends FragmentActivity implements SlidingActivityBase with extends com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity implements SlidingActivityBase
6. Import the two projects into Eclipse using the same method as 2.
7. Right Click the SlidingMenu project > Properties > Android > Library > Add
8. Add the ActionBarSherlock project
9. Right Click the ChanExplorer project > Properties > Android > Library > Add
10. Add both the ActionBarSherlock and ChanExplorer projects.
11. Use ndk-build to build the native libraries. cd {chanexplorer}/jni && ndk-build on OSX and Linux.

You can then plug in your Android device and build a debug apk.

After the following steps, you can simply export and APK, or run the project on your Android device. Open an issue if there are problems.

Simply submit a pull request to contribute. I would like to keep Gingerbread support as my Android smartphone does not support 4.0.
