Summary0009818: Point-of-Sales App documentation not helpful for setup
DescriptionThe documentation for the Android Point-of-Sales app at
https://docs.taler.net/taler-merchant-pos-terminal.html#android-app
describes the layout of the app which is of limited usefulness.

It says "At first start, the Android app asks you for a configuration URL and a user name as well as a password for HTTP basic authentication." but doesn't tell from which these information should come from.

In particular, after provisioning a merchant instance via https://test.taler.net/provision/de/create, it is not clear at all, what the URL should look be.
Steps To Reproduce1. download the app
2. provision yourself a merchant instance https://test.taler.net/provision/de/create
3. try to configure the app
