Here is how you can start developing.

Currently building is supported with eclipse, android studio and gradle, see build instructions.

Important note: if you are building your own version, particularly if you are making it available to third parties, please change app_version and app_name_version in res/values/appname.xml to something that makes it clear that this is not an "official" release and clearly identifies your builds.
