For Android there's Jidoujisho https://github.com/arianneorpilla/jidoujisho.

It's essentially Ttsu reader + Yomitan (née Yomichan) + Ankidroid integration packed into one app. You have to find your own reading material though, but there's plenty of that go around. Jidoujisho has some OCR support for reading manga too, although I never found those tools to be working well enough in any app.

For websites on Android (e.g. news or Aozora Bunko) the same can be achieved with Firefox + Yomitan - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yomitan/ - as Yomitan has an Ankidroid integration of its own. Or any other browser with extension support, whether desktop or mobile, desktop versions integrate with desktop Anki.

In theory, Yomitan supports other languages as well, although making it work with Finnish took me quite some effort a year ago (maybe it's easier now).

Jidoujisho seems like a great asset for Android
