A possible solution may be to access your online collection using a browser on your phone. This could let you use the browser's Find function to check if you own a specific title. Clunky perhaps, but it should be doable. You could try it and see if it seems practical.

That's what I've been doing. Although I just sort alphabetically and scroll through the list, I guess it depends on the phone but it scrolls quickly enough for my purposes.

Thanks folks. Good constructive workaround.

Have set a mission to see what I can write to do better than that. Very rusty java programmer and this will be my first crack at an android app.  Maybe something to share by the end of the year? This is Ken's opportunity to see if he can beat me. I don't want to steal his business, but this product is too good to let die.

Just to provide some input, as I've now been hit by this problem as well, having upgrade to a 64-bit Android system.

I think there are two different use cases that require different approaches:

A) Users who only used the app to browse their collection. To check if they own something, look up some data, whatever.

This is already possible, clumsily, via the Invelos online collection. But you have to sync that manually of course, it's hard to navigate and ugly, and it requires you to be online.

Let us assume you already have some way to sync files from your PC to Android. Then a possible way to achieve a better experience could be:

1) Automate exporting an XML of your collection via a scheduled task or maybe whenever you close DVD Profiler. This should be possible via some plug-in already, I think.
2) Automate the creation of static HTML representation from this XML. This could be a python script or whatever. Potentially, ChatGPT can generate something for us that's miles better than the Invelos website
3) Create this HTML in a folder synced to your phone (via SyncThing or any cloud drive service)
4) Automate copying and then shrinking (or not) all images (and/or thumbnails) from your collection folder into the same synced folder, allowing the HTML to reference them.

Voilà, you have an always updated, somewhat modern, offline view of your collection. Of course, one could improve this to create one page per disc with a separate overview site. It's basically a static version of phpmyprofiler without all the necessary server fluff.

B) Users who actually maintained their database via the app. Which I never understood, but oh well.
This case is both easier and harder. The only way to keep using the app is using some kind of emulation, translation or virtual environment. One possible approach could be using Tango (https://www.amanieusystems.com/home), but it seems like an overly complicated approach. The easier approach is using an android-in-the-cloud service like Genymotion (https://www.genymotion.com/product-cloud/). It is meant for testing android apps in a virtual environment and supports 32-bit apps. It should be possible to have that cloud instance connect to your local DVD Profiler database and access it in a browser.
