For some reason the intent that calls the DataFetchService is not returning to the movie list.

When debugging the app, everything seems fine after fetching and parsing the movie info, BUT when the "fetch_complted" intent is broadcasted, the movie list activity is not getting it back.

Currently there are two options:

1. movie list
2. schedule list

• add menu on top (like in gmail) for the filtering and sorting options

Filtering

• Theatre area: default to Helsinki, and then it saves the latest filtered Theatre area
• Date: today, that are defaults from the system, but can be changed by the user to be in the future

Sorts

• By defalt it sorts (groupped by time slots i.e. each hours or 2hrs) (what is playing now, starting from current time).
• Option to sort by movie name (groupped by)

Currently movie list is grabbed from FinKino server as xml and it is only possible to get the entire list of schedules for one day or the entire list of movies (no schedules).

Since the phone is able to display a limited number of items on screen, its better to retrieve only few items and then fetch more.

This might not be possible with current architecture, evaluate posibility to use a server like set one in google app engine that fetches the movies and is able to serve requests for pagination.

Make work the video trailer view, add an intent from the Movie Detail, perhaps put an image that when clicked launches the video.

Add quick actions menu to Movie List Items

• Movie Details
• Trailer video (if available)
• Share it (use share intent)
• see movie schedules

Also add an icon to the movie list items when there are videos available

So far we are downloading data from finnkino and parsing it every time that the user goes to the movie list or search for schedules, we should keep it in the cache (we are using the DroidKinoApplication class for this) and reuse it.

The FinnkinoSAXParser uses a final object that is filled from the different SAX listeners.
When it finishes parsing a Show element it copies the current contents of the MovieInfo and adds it to a list .
The copy method does not clean the original MovieInfo object and it doesn't handle copying lists properly. Therefore, multiple MovieInfo copies might end up getting content from a previous parsed Show and also pointing to the same list.

Moreover when adding/removing fields to the MovieInfo class we'll need to remember to handle it properly in the copy method.

Can we just get rid of the copy method?

There's a null pointer exception when clicking the movie list button:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{org.androidaalto.droidkino/org.androidaalto.droidkino.activities.MovieListFragment}: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.androidaalto.droidkino.activities.MovieListFragment

The issue is that the parser is taking the title of the EventVideo, which normaly is like "Katso Traileri" and replacing that in the movie title string.

• separator in the movie detail between the specs and the synopsys.
• get a shorter movie description (2-3 lines, not a whole plot like finnkino has!), perhaps the one from IMDB
• add remaining info from IMDB, like actors, directors, etc.

Either a separate dialog/view or the same one, add posibility to see schedules from a movie detail view.
