The name of the book is clipped if the book name is too long

[aawc]

I observed this in the Popular books list.
One of the books was showing the name ")" in the list. When I opened the details section for that book, it showed a much longer name: "Junie B. Jones Loves Handsome Warren (Junie B. Jones #7)".

It turns out that the response from the server is correct, but when parsing the XML, we set the title (and all other fields) incorrectly.
According to the SAXParser documentation, the characters function can be called multiple times for a single element, but the current implementation just sets the title or author name as is.

So in this case, there were two callbacks to characters function for the title:
"Junie B. Jones Loves Handsome Warren (Junie B. Jones #7", and
")"
So this code is incorrect:

if(title){
    result_bean.setTitle(new String(c,start,length));
}

Instead of setting the title on getting the characters, it should collect those characters in a StringBuilder and then on endElement, set the string in that StringBuilder to title, etc.
