Does not support usernames with spaces

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an account on Libre.fm with spaces in the username (mine, for 
instance, is "Mind Booster Noori")
2. Try to log in Libre.fm with that username
3. It will say "wrong username or password". The field shows that the spaces 
were taken off

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected to be logged in.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest version on the market, running on Android 1.6.

I would guess that the culprit is this line:
            username = username.replaceAll("\\s", "");
and that we can safely comment it, but I would like to know first why is it 
there...

Yep, that's probably it. I don't know why I added that line to begin with, 
although I didn't know that Libre.fm allows usernames with spaces. I'm pretty 
sure Last.fm doesn't. But that's beside the point. I'll post a quick update you 
can test soon.

Can you test this apk: 
http://a-simple-lastfm-scrobbler.googlecode.com/files/a_simple_lastfm_scrobbler_
1.3.apk

I haven't released it on the Market yet, I'll do it after the testing.

Nope, it is still taking the spaces out... Just to explain better, I see that 
the spaces are not there because after it says "Wrong username/password", if I 
click again on "User credentials" the username that appears on the username 
field is "MindBoosterNoori" and not "Mind Booster Noori".

Hey, Libre.fm doesn't support usernames with spaces in them!? Something is 
wrong here...

It sure does, check here my profile for an example: 
http://alpha.libre.fm/user/Mind+Booster+Noori (replace "+" with a space or 
"%20" if you want...)

Possibly helpful, lastfmsubmitd also works properly with libre.fm, here's a 
submission it did today with my account:

When I try to register a new user with spaces in the username I get the 
following error:

Your username must be at least 3 characters in length (max 16) and only consist 
of a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ (underscore), and may not begin or end with an 
underscore.

But it SLS (in v1.3.1) doesn't remove the spaces when I try to log into an 
non-existent account (it just fails). I even tried logging in as "Mind Booster 
Noori" (with bogus password). And it just fails, without removing the spaces. 
Could you try installing v1.3.1 again?

Oh, it might be that Libre.fm used to support spaces in usernames, but don't do 
it for new accounts.

Yes, that's possible. Retried 1.3.1, still with the same problem.
