I am getting ready to release version 1.4. This will bring about a big new feature, support for searching for and adding content from ServiiDB.com. This is still in early development, and there are a number of known issues (and proably lots of undiscovered ones) and missing features, but this will make adding online sources a lot better. So please sign up for ServiiDB.com and add some content, Xmantium has already added a large part of 4oD. Then once I release the update (tonight at the earliest, but it depends on when moltra can get the remaining breaking changes done), give it a really really good test and send me lots of feedback. Some points in particular.
1) On large screens / landscape if there is enough room, you should get a split screen view, if you don't when you should, do when you shouldn't, or the list of titles takes up too much or too little of the available space, please post with app version, android vesion, screen size, orientation, device, if you know it dpi level, e.g. hdpi, and optionally a screen shot if it is a case of the list of titles being a not very good size. Android 3.1 and below devices are the most likely to have this problem.
2) Adding an online source shows a progress dialog that blocks interactions and you have to add them one at a time, in later versions you this will not block the UI and i'll hopefully set it up so that you can select multiple sources and add them in one go.
3) Rotating while adding is a little flaky, the app shouldn't crash, but the ui might not update properly, pressing add, or navigating should fix it.
4) Not all of the data from serviidb is displayed yet e.g. ratings, resolution, install count (depending on how thigns go, I might add it in time for the first release)
5) I fetch all the (matching the search query) items from the API at once, in future I will might need to change it to load them in blocks, but it doesn't seem to cause a problem at the moment.
6) the start screen when in split screen is boring, i'll add some graphic/serviidb logo there.
7) recent searches aren't saved
8) I probably need to add a second line to the titles to show the plugin name or region if searching worldwide to help show the difference for shows that are found twice
I will not be uploading the strings for translation just yet, as they will proably need changing. In addition to working on the above, future updates will add being able to use templates for building custom urls, and eventually, adding content to serviidb from the app and rating it.
So lots of feedback on the above, along with any issues/suggestions for the ui or functionallity.
Here are some screenshots so you can give some intial feedback on the UI.
