Bika-HarmonyOS

Project Overview

Bika HarmonyOS is a comic reading client built for HarmonyOS with ArkTS and ArkUI. It offers email-and-password login with automatic re-login, home channels covering recommendations and rankings, detail pages with comments, five reading modes, and Wi-Fi-only downloads for offline reading. The interface uses an immersive light material and supports dark/light modes and screenshot protection.

A native HarmonyOS interface with a complete comic reading and offline experience.

Key Features

• Account and profile: email-and-password login with persisted tokens and auto re-login, plus avatar, nickname, level, signature, and check-in
• Home channels: 45 channels including recommendations, rankings, recent updates, and random
• Comic details: detail, chapter, and comment tabs with favorites, likes, and related recommendations
• Reader: five reading modes, an immersive toolbar, orientation lock, and brightness control
• Comments: like, reply, and post, with expandable sub-replies
• Offline downloads: Wi-Fi-only downloads, concurrency settings, retry on failure, and local offline reading
• Filtering and search: five filter groups (theme, excluded themes, status, chapters, pages) with keyword suggestions and advanced search
• Personalization: dark/light mode, immersive material levels, auto check-in, screenshot protection, storage management, DNS optimization, and image cache cleanup
• Privacy: credentials are stored only in the app's private directory, and requests go to official APIs only

Notes

• The repository's content is for study and exchange only; contact via Issues to have infringing content removed
• Building from source requires configuring signing materials in DevEco Studio; that config file is gitignored
• Downloaded comics and image caches live in the app sandbox and are removed on uninstall
• Login and browsing depend on official service availability, and API changes may affect some features
