Hey, I gave a look to the android code, and got some inspiration.
I felt the need for an android version too, so I looked at the code and made a Homebank compatible app.

My personal need was to be able to check the status of my monthly budget (so I know if I can spend money or not). So my app does just this : displays budget for the month. It reads a homebank file (.xhb) from SD card or Dropbox.

I know it's very far from something more complete, I prefer to work that way : small incremental changes. So if I give up along the way (like so many others, see above). There's something working at least.

So know what I'd like to do is :
- discuss ways to name distribute the application :
  - can reuse Homebank's icon ?
  - can reuse Homebank's name ?
- Where should I host the code ? I've seen bazaar mentionned above, but since it's not a complete port of Homebank, I guess I shouldn't replace it.
- get feedback from users: (see attached APK if you want to test)
- get feedback from devs : (when the code is made public somewhere)
