Android dictionary application

Question

I wanted to develop an application on top of a dictionary i.e. an application that uses dictionary as a part of it.Is their any dictionary application available in the market for this purpose?Application which come under GPL is preferable.Also those which uses local database instead of using network connection is preferable.

If not,is there any dictionary database available in the market on the top of which a dictionary application can be developed which can then be used for said purpose?

Hope I am clear.

Thanks in advance.

There is a program that you will allow the user to export their dictionary, from that you may be able to do what you want.

More over, you can just reference the built in UserDictionary, and use a ContentProvider to query through the data.
