Some remaining development tasks. Please contact me (David Anderson) and post to boinc_dev if you want to help.

• Raise API level to 11+ to make use of new features, e.g.
  • Use Action Bar instead of tabs and menues, menu items in top right corner
  • Allow swiping between activities (previous tabs)
  • Add suspend/resume controls into Notification
• Support attach to account manager
• Add SD card support in client (working Hugo Puhlmann)
  • move BOINC's projects/ directory to SD card an force move of binaries into slots (executable)
  • think about how to handle storage status and preferences of clients
• Support for x86-based Android devices. This should not require code changes, but adaption of the build process for the boinc client and the dummy library.
• Support "user active" detection by including it into status RPC.
• Add a Notices tab.
• Allow higher resolution project icons and slideshow images
• Efficiency improvements, e.g. move RPC polling of data only used by a single Activity into that Activity's code and execute only when visible (from onResume to onPause)
• Translations

Notes:

• So far we have been using icons found here: ​http://gentleface.com/free_icon_set.html
