This is option designed especially for developers for the testing in the real enviroment. This option is available in 'Native client' screen as 'Update from SDCard'. After the selecting this option will appear the dialog with entry, in which you should enter directory name with binaries (inside SDCard memory).
The directory should contain the BOINC client binaries and/or the BOINC project applications. The binaries can be provided as standalone file (or directory, in the case project apps) or the zipped file.
BOINC client file should be named 'boinc_client' (or 'boinc_client.zip' if will be zipped). A zipped file should have name 'boinc_client'.
BOINC project applications file or directory should have name of the project name. If BOINC project is already installed from official repository (my repository) name should be the name of distribution name (it can be get it from 'Installed binaries'). If BOINC project is not supported by me (or not installed) name of the binaries should be name of the project name (appeared in the Project tabs). For zip file name will be 'name.zip' or for directory only same name ('name'). A zipped file should contains compressed directory with project applications binaries including 'app_info.xml' file. Name of the compressed directory doesn't matter (can be random).
The BOINC applications directory should contains 'app_info.xml' file and binaries of the applications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because the Android doesn't support SYSV IPC, we recommended to set up ALWAYS boinc api version inside 'app_info.xml' file. For earlier BOINC API versions than 5.0, the BOINC client assumes, that applications supports only SYSV IPC shared memory mechanism and applications won't work with BOINC client for Android.
Example BOINC applications directory:
Primegrid - unzipped binaries- app_info.xml - app_info for boinc client
- primegrid_gcwsieve_1.12_arm-android-linux-gnu - application's executable
