Maybe I'm having a brain fart, but I'm not seeing how I can add a project that isn't on the list. I know I can use an account manager, but sometimes projects aren't listed at sites like BOINCStats. An example of this is the QCN Continual project. I can connect to the main QCN project, but I'm not seeing a way I can attempt to attach to the QCN Continual. Another example is Moo!. They have an Android BETA app, but I'm forced to attach via Account Manager.

Like I said, I could be having a blonde moment, so if anyone knows how to add the project manually, let me know.

BOINC v. 7.4.37

I do have BAM! as my account manager, but wanted to know if there was a manual way.

Depending on the device you have...

If you have buttons on the device and they work: BOINC, hamburger (three horizontal stripes) next to Tasks, Projects, hamburger button on your phone, add a project by URL.
If you do not have buttons on the device, or you do but they don't work: BOINC, Projects Tab, right corner where pause, a + and 3 vertical dots, the latter is add a project by URL.

It depends on Android version what is used. Some Android versions still use the buttons at the bottom of the device, others do not.

Thanks Ageless, on my Galaxy S3 I had to use the button to get the option. The second option you mentioned wasn't there for me.

One would think that this would be an option in the add projects list like the attach to account manager is. However, it works. So again, thanks for the help.
