DieBagger, have you had any time to think of a layout for tablets? I think that a layout using fragments would be very useful. I've attached a simple picture trying to explain it.
The first screen you see when starting the program is the Main panel. When selecting an item (e.g. TV-series), the Main panel stays on the left side and the Show panel appears to the right. When selecting a show, the Main panel dissapears from the screen (e.g. transposing out to the left), now with the Show panel on the left side, while the Season panel appears on the right side, and so on.
Only two panels showing at each time, but it should be possible to scroll through the panels by swiping the finger left or right on the screen. If the user selects another item on the Main panel, every panel to the right of this dissapears, and a new panel with the corresponding items is shown on the right side of the screen.
This way, the user has a clear view of the current selection, and has an easy way to go to another panel instead of having to press the Back button several times.
I think this is possible using the Fragments API in Honeycomb, but I have not tried it. If you want to, I can see if I can come up with a working example.
Anyway, a big thank you for doing this! I know we are many who are very eager to try this out
