Boinc, hamburger next to Tasks, Projects, hamburger on your phone, add project by url. The hamburger are the three horizontal stripes. ID: 55686 ·

I've not this screen, only the list of projects, without text... What Boinc version are you actually running? In Boinc 7.4.14, I go to the Projects Tab, then in the right corner, I have three selections, a pause selection (suspends computation), a + selection (adds projects), and : selection (actually 3 vertical dots, this is add a project by URL) Don't go to the add project, or via the Hamburger to add projects, these only show Official Non-Alpha, non-Beta projects, and the Add account manager selections, there is no add project by URL selection there.

It isn't in the graphics, but on the phone: My Hamburger is a Graphic in the top left corner as in this picture, But there are three selections on the right on Boinc 7.4.14 (Joachim has been changing the UI on Boinc 7.4.x): Claggy ID: 55714 ·

Not for me, I only have the pause sign and the plus sign on the top right. The hamburger on the left is only used from the initial Tasks screen, to get to the menu, there select Projects, don't select a project, but just press the hamburger key on the phone. That opens, for me at least, the Add URL menu. I am using 7.4.14. Although using is a big word. I have it installed, let's keep it at that. ID: 55717 ·

The Hamburger for me, On Android 4.1.1 (It's the same on my 2012 Nexus 7 running Android 4.4.4), Opens selections to get to: Tasks Notices Projects All the projects attached to (under each other) Add project Preferences Help About Event Log There is no physical Hamburger button on my mobile, or my Tablet, there is on my Old HTC Desire, But since it only runs Android 2.2.1 it can't run Boinc, and has to settle with NativeBoinc.

But having no hamburger button on the phone is probably what kicks it in. You'd have to ask that on the developers list. ID: 55721 ·

But having no hamburger button on the phone is probably what kicks it in. You'd have to ask that on the developers list. There's already been a bit of confusion there about this, Rom has already asked: How hard would it be to move the attach to project by URL functionality into the main attach work flow? Joachim Fritzsch answer was: Project that are not in the pre-defined list (e.g. http://ralph.bakerlab.org/) can be attached by: 1. go to projects screen 2. select the three dots on the top right / if you are on Android 2.3.3 or earlier, press the menu button 3. select "add project by URL" 4. enter URL and continue. Thanks for your help! Rom also asked (from Nikolay Saharov): And there is a small suggestion. Is it possible to indicate in Add projects screen which projects already added? Claggy ID: 55722 ·

Well, as I told Rom, the previous BOINC I had (still don't know which version that was!) had the option in the place where you have it in 7.4.14 AND under the short press menu on the Projects screen. I could short press any white space there and get a menu with among things No New Tasks and the Add URL option. The short press doesn't work anymore in 7.4.14 and the option is no longer in the menu on my phone. Of course, it doesn't help much that these things change about every BOINC version. How are we to help people, if it doesn't uniformly work on every phone/tablet/phablet/whatever out there? ID: 55727 ·
