PVD handles customs fields, so some users are going to be disappointed if mobilePVD cannot do the same. I have no idea how this works, but if this could be done by editing a configuration file, instructions for doing so would probably suffice.

ok - this is a step further in the development. First we should be able to manage standard fields (and not all of them - only important, but who decides which ones are).
Later we COULD think about getting some data back from mobilePVD into PVD and managing custom fields.

Right—this is the issue. I don't imagine anyone wants or needs all fields on their hand-held. The problem is, in some cases a custom field is going to be one of the "important" ones. I suspect your ultimate goal should be to make this completely configurable—so the issue goes away entirely. Maybe that could be handled by requiring field captions to be specified in the XML export. Then mobilePVD would simply display whatever is exported (with fields presented in the same order), without requiring any further configuration.

But surely you're going to soon replace the XML file with a direct server connection to the database.  8) ;)

newsky:
I spread base of films from 6000 records for your tests. Two variants of export. The first: XML (MoviePVD). The second: XML (movie)

Obelix:
ok - that's a real challenge...
On my HTC HD2 I get some thousand movies read, but on the HP iPAQ 114 I only get 1700. Then I reach the limit of the memory...

I have to think about that for some time...
