big misconception in the app ('received with' instead of 'sent from') #49

one of the main idea of bitcoin is, to give away a unique receiving-address for 
identifiing the received coins. this makes sense, because the clients and also 
the bitcoin-traders send coins with randomly different addresses, you not in 
control of.
the schildbach-wallet does NOT follow this concept and instead goes by the old 
classic yellow-mail concept of having only one receiving-address and many 
sender-addresses (yes i know, in the app you can generate many new addresses). 
this misconcept leads to an transaction-list what is showing at the received 
coins only the sender-addresses, not the really neccesary receiving-addresses 
you give away for receiving the coins. one simple look at the satoshi-client 
would have helped to find out about this little but important difference.
so the addressbook too shows me on one side the correct addresses of someone 
else i send coins to. but on the other side it shows me just the useless 
addresses i received coins "from" instead of the addreses i received the coins 
"with". this should be corrected.
and ofcourse, the assigned addressbook names to the receiving addresses should 
also show up in the list of my generated addresses, or better: i can assign a 
name right there and just in the moment when i generate the new address (an 
name-asking popup for example).
