Added you now.

So how does your line look like (and did you try to build with it)? ;)

No attachment made it over to this list. At any rate, you'll need to
load a document first to get more UI I guess...

In general, the app does work; if not on your particular device, then
surely in the emulator (which is probably a better choice for hacking
on it anyway). So that shouldn't be a blocker.

In closing, please be a bit more proactive in working yourself into
LibreOffice development; the expectation is that you read available
documentation, and then start doing stuff as you understand it; once
you hit a problem you cannot solve by yourself after trying for a
while, come back here or on irc for help.

Cheers,

-- Thorsten
