-AndroidBOINC is able to attach to a single project only.
-This is a limitation of the Android Manager, rather then the BOINC Client.
-In order to provide AndroidBOINC for your project,
-the very basic modifications to the Android app are:
-
- *  adapt the default project URL & name
-  (located at *android.package.name*/res/values/strings.xml)
-
-Of course you are free to adapt the Manager to suit the needs of your project, e.g.:
- *  add/remove tabs of the tabbed layout by setting bools at /res/values/configuration.xml
- *  rename application or change its package name
- *  adapt graphical identity
- *  translate to other language (see /res/values/strings.xml)

-If you make major improvements to AndroidBOINC,
-please consider sharing them with the community!
