About DiffDroid
DiffDroid is a Add-On for DiffTool, which extends it's functionality.
DiffDroid functions in detail:
- this APP allows DiffTool to open the files and documents in an editor of your choice.
- by using that APP, you can start DiffTool from any File Explorer (simply select DiffDroid when you open a file from your Explorer; then press "Select the Second File" to add file B: in the same way).
- this APP offers Java®* intents to integrate DiffTool into any other Java®* App (more about see below).
Coming soon:
- DiffDroid will give DiffDroid access to Google Drive™**
- DiffDroid will give DiffTool access to files on your local network.
For software developers:
By using this APP, you can use the following code to integrate DiffTool into your Apps.

Helpful addon to DiffTool, but also ugly and of low usability. "Compare folders" does not compare the selected folders, but the parent of each. Can't manually clear current selections without selecting new files. This app messes up several file associations.
