Hi Ludovic, Thank you for your instructions regarding configurations. I had previously taken the older JQuery Mobile version which does not have a configuration function.
I downloaded the alpha release of the mobile client from the link you sent.[1] I installed it on my Android device and run it. But for some reason it only gives me a list view with two items "wikis" and "tools" and it is not possible to process further. What can be the reason for this? Since the apk did not work I tried to build it from the source.[2] Since it had a build.xml inside the Android folder I built with ant and it was successfully built. But I was not able to run the project. Can you please advice me regarding building the project from source so that I can test the current version of the mobile client? Thank you in advance.
