Hello DHIS2 team,

I've been working on a new version of android client for approximately two
months and now it is finally ready. Current release doesn't have a big list
of new features, rather application has been rethought. Completely new
codebase allows to add new functionality with ease. Sidebar navigation
facilitates development of new features both on tablets and mobile phones.
There are lots of other enhancements like better perfomance, support of
earlier android version (2.2+), new libraries and etc.

Here is the list of major improvements:
- Client was implemented from scratch.
- Support of:
    * earlier Android version (2.2+)
    * variety of screens.
    * tablet interface (now there will be only one project for both mobile
and tablet)
- Completely new architecture (REST client architectire of Virgil
Dobjanschi)
- Great perfomance improvement due to new JSON library (GSON).
- New library from google for backwards compatability (ActionBarCompat)

Any feedback on new app will be appreciated :). So don't hesitate to
express your opinion or suggest any improvements.
Both source code and instructions on how to build app with predefined
server address can be found here:
