Hi Ludovic, I got the new code and I could build that successfully. The problem with installation had been a compatibility issue with my android device. The application's build target is 4.2.2 and my device has an older version.
I built the project from source and installed it on an emulator. Now I am trying to connect to a local server according to your previous message. (using the emulator is slower than using the actual device as usual :) ) I could see that "Settings" page of a wiki has options to add the required information. (I guess the user interface of that page can be improved to look nicer) I will go through the prototype and let you know what changes are required in my point of view and what I think are most important as you instructed in a previous mail. Thank you.
