Share verses and poems, and reach the dictionary from any app 3d4f7aae3a

Selected text now gets three entries in the system selection menu — look up,
ask an assistant, and share — and the poem screen gains a share action of its
own, next to the per-couplet save and copy.

Compose 1.10 stopped routing SelectionContainer through LocalTextToolbar, so a
custom entry cannot be added to that menu from inside the reader.
ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT goes round it: the system builds part of the menu from
installed activities handling that intent, so these appear here and in every
other app. Three activity-aliases rather than one Ganjoor entry, because the
menu is a place for verbs: a reader who means "look this up" should not have to
pick an app first and then say what they wanted.

"Ask an assistant" cannot name Claude or Gemini — only those apps can put their
own name in that menu. It opens the share chooser with the question already
written, which lists whichever assistant is installed. That hand-off is also
what keeps this acceptable under F-Droid's rules: no vendor SDK, no API key,
nothing but an intent the reader confirms.

The activity is opaque and themed rather than a transparent one hosting a
sheet. PROCESS_TEXT starts it in its own task, so the app the text came from is
not behind this window, and a scrim over nothing is just a grey screen.

WordLookup and AssistantAnswer are split out of their sheets so the same code
serves as a sheet in the reader and a screen here.

Wire up the optional AI assistant 576a07ae31

The page existed but nothing reached it. It now has a route, a provider in
MainActivity, and an entry at the foot of the reading-settings sheet beside
About, where it reads as one more optional setting rather than a feature of
the app.

Two actions use it: translating Ganjoor's own Persian summary under a poem,
and explaining a selected couplet. Both go through AssistantAction, which asks
the reader's own server when one is configured and otherwise hands the question
to another installed app. Neither path needs anyone to have set anything up,
which matters because the whole feature is optional.

Urdu for AI is مصنوعی ذہانت, not the transliterated "اے آئی"; the Farsi now
says هوش مصنوعی to match, rather than "smart assistant".

Talk to Claude as well as the OpenAI-shaped services 65bc9ed0fc

Everything else worth connecting to — Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, LocalAI,
OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Gemini through its compatibility endpoint — speaks the
OpenAI chat-completions shape, so one client covered them all. Anthropic does
not: it is /v1/messages, an x-api-key header, and a reply that arrives as
content blocks rather than a message. That one exception is now handled, keyed
off the host, so the callers never see the difference.

The endpoint note lists the services by name and URL. Knowing the app "supports
OpenAI-compatible servers" is not the same as knowing what to type.

Presets stay self-hosted only: naming a paid service in a one-tap button is
steering people towards it, and the field takes any URL regardless.

Use the standard glyphs for share, look up and ask 2f16b52c2c

Share was already the Material share icon in both top bars, but appeared as
bare text in the couplet actions and under an assistant's answer, so the same
action looked like two different things. It now carries the glyph everywhere.

The selection-menu entries had no icons of their own, so the system drew the
app logo three times over. Each alias now has the icon for its verb, from
Material's own path data: the share glyph people know from every other app,
a magnifier for the dictionary, and send for handing a question elsewhere.
Whether the floating toolbar draws them is the system's decision, not ours.

"Ask an assistant" had a magnifier, which belongs to searching. It sends.

Use the AI sparkle for the assistant action 90b527522b

Material's auto_awesome, the shape that has come to mean "ask a model" — the
same one Gemini and the rest use. Theirs are trademarks and have no place in an
F-Droid build; this one ships under the Apache licence already covering the
app's icons.

It now marks the action everywhere it appears: the selection-menu entry, the
lookup screen's top bar, and the translate and explain buttons in the reader,
which were text alone.

Drop the "ask an assistant" entry from the selection menu d320137063

With no local server configured it opened the same chooser Share does, only
with a prompt in front of the text. Two entries for one chooser makes the
reader choose twice, and the third entry pushed Look up into the overflow;
both now fit in the bar.

Asking moves to the lookup screen's top bar, where it keeps the part that was
actually distinct: a configured server answers in place, and without one the
question still goes out with "translate this and explain what it means"
already written.
