How can we have a dictionary service in android apps?

Question

Is there any API available for dictionary service for android like that of Maps, Weather,etc.? How we can have a dictionary service in android apps?

Answer 1

There is no API for Google Dictionary. This apparently due to licensing agreements with the content providers rather than technical reasons. There is an enhancement request open for this which you could monitor.

You could have a look at this question, it asking for Ruby APIs but some of the APIs given are web based and could easily be used from an Android application.
