I put a csv file (from geocommons http://geocommons.com/overlays/152668.csv) into my GeoData dir and it doesnt show up in my list of available layers. Guessing I need to add some kind of sidecar file or otherwise tell jeo and/or the app which are the lat and lon columns.

A couple of issues. First being that the csv driver was not being brought in as a depedency. See jeo/jeo-android#1.

Also for this this particular csv a few parsing bugs in the driver:

jeo/jeo#7
jeo/jeo#8

And finally yes, for this file it will be necessary to specify a few additional options in order to figure out the lat / lon columns. See jeo/jeo#9.
