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
