Make playback/about UIs follow the new liftOnScroll and edge-to-edge
idioms. This finally allows me to collapse a lot of duplicate code
into MainActivity and in general reduce code mess.
Make a hack layout that fixes the problem of the lift state not
actually following the RecyclerView state. This should remove the
need for all the fragile fixes for this UI idiom.
Improve the search UI by making it edge-to-edge and adding the
liftOnScroll idiom. It does come with the caveat of walking on
eggshells to get the liftOnScroll code working, but its okay. It
may be improved in the future.
Make settings follow both edge-to-edge and the liftOnScroll idioms.
This has some minor issues with state, but these should be fixed when
I'm able to make a smooth transition for theme changes.
Make the queue UI follow the liftOnScroll idiom that is already used
in the detail views. This also tweaks the edge-to-edge behavior so
that this view properly works.
Fix two annoying appbar issues:
- Appbar will collapse if the navigation sequence is too fast
- Tab ripple would paint over the indicator unless the ripple was unbounded [???]
Do the final utility refactor, placing custom views into a .ui
submodule and the general utils into a new .util module. This
system seems to stick well.
Remove the janky requestFocus/clearFocus called on SearchFragment
and replace them with InputMethodManager calls. This is generally
more user friendly, especially when returning to search from
navigation.
Merge LibraryFragment, SongsFragment, and others into a new fragment
called HomeFragment. This is the beginning of the Auxio UI overhaul.
This has caused some regressions here and there, but these will be
rectified over time.
Move the progress bar to the bottom of CompactPlaybackFragment in both
orientations. Doesn't look the nicest right now, but will be when the
new home fragment is created.
Fix a plethora of style issues that lead to a worse touch experience.
I tried to optimize these solutions so that they didn't reduce the layout
density too much. More updates may have to be made in the future.
Fix a crash in the accent dialog that would occur because Android
Couldn't decipher the module path to the layout manager. Even though
this worked perfectly fine before moving the module. Why.
Move the AndroidUtils file into the root Auxio directory, renaming it
to AuxioUtils as well. This also changes some methods to be extension
methods instead of argument functions.
Tweak some dimens so that they line up with the 8dp grid. This doesn't
apply to all of them since some of them are fined-tuned [such as the
fast-scroller]. The latter would likely be migrated in the later UI
overhaul.
Add two new widget forms. The compact widget form shows the cover art
[this time with a proper aspect ratio] but no controls. The mini form
only shows the metadata. This seems to work well enough and provides
more choices with how one wants to decorate their homescreen with
Auxio's widgets.
Redesign the loading UI to be in line with the rest of Auxio and the
upcoming Android 12 splash screen [sort of]. This also updates the
header and button designs so that the layout heirarchy is better/more
information dense.
Actually bother to add license boilerplate. Even though I've written
the entirety of Auxio, the boilerplate will be under "Auxio Project"
instead, as I don't want to share my real name.
Fix some problems with the Pre-12 widget responsiveness backport, most
notably the wrong layout being chosen on more dense launcher grids.
Also change the default widget size from 2x2 to 3x2 so that it's more
readable.
Refactor styles again, this time trying to seperate the more
layout-specific attributes so that layouts become more re-usable.
This also updates the naming conventions of styles.
Post widget responsive behavior back to Android 11 and below. This is
not the nicest solution [mostly since the UI flickers when resizing],
but it seems to work well enough.
The plans for widgets have changed somewhat. Instead of 4 or so
variants, there will instead be one unified widget that chooses
different layouts depending on its size. The first one added is the
full widget, which shows more controls as long as theres enough
space.
Modify the minimal wdiget so that it can work on Android 11 and below.
Was not actually that hard, mostly changing layouts around all things
considered. This also splits up the default view and the main widget
views, which makes managing UI state much easier.
Update the README to update the current state of Auxio, uodate the
ADDITIONS document to reflect which features have been rejected,
and remove the black mode question from the FAQ.
Add a fast-scroller to the library view. This makes long lists of
items such as albums easier to scroll through, but also requires
pre-sorting of artists to make sure that unintended behavior does
not occur. A future commit may improve the sort options here so that
this does not need to occur.
Finally add black theme support to Auxio. This is abit of a janky
implementation since I had to add an extra set of accents, but it
shouldn't be as big of a problem after the styles refactoring.
Support for black android components is not implemented yet, but
will be eventually.
Completely redesign the about UI to remove its dependency on
bottomsheetdialogfragment. That object is such a hassle to deal with an
is the epitome of everything wrong with this horrible platform. This
design will enable further about extensions in the future.
Instead of using @color/background directly, use ?attr/colorSurface
so that changes can be made to the theming easier. This also
resolves some more minor issues regarding certain widget's
backgrounds.
Change most of the external layout/drawable code to use
colorControlHighlight instead of selection_color so that control
over which kind of selection color is used is more fine-grained.
Create a seperate ActionHeader object for headers with actions attached alongside a new viewholder to accompany it.
This allows action headers to be created easier without creating your own viewholder.
Do two things to the margin and padding system:
- Remove the redundant padding/margin dimens and replace it with a unified "spacing" dimen namespace
- Make most margin and padding dimens follow the divisible-by-8 rule in material design
Finally move the app from AppCompat the Material Bridge theme. This does a couple things:
- Removes need for runtime styling of material widgets used before
- Allows for a better dialog style [But only after a ton of tinkering and weird hacks]
- Makes theming slightly easier [After all the dumb migration bugs and technicalities are fixed]
I never want to do something like this again. UI styling on android is a nightmare.
Both improve and use dialogs
- The AlertDialog style now properly colors dialogs with the primary coler
- The accent & blacklist dialogs are now based on AlertDialog for their buttons, reducing layout complexity
Completely refactor the blacklist dialog to not only use the Storage Access Framework, but also to completely eliminate the material dialogs dependency.
Fix two more fast scrolling issues:
- Fixed size of the view would cut off larger fonts
- Thumb would briefly show when the view would initially start
This custom view was a mistake, but anything for less kbs.
Drop the old IndicatorFastScroll library from Auxio and replace it with a hyper-specialized variant designed specifically for Auxio.
This not only eliminates a source of hacks/problems/bloat, it also removes a dependency on jcenter (Which is shutting down soon)
Change the loading process so that LoadingViewModel no longer requires an application instance to start. Also move the main music loading code to an internal function.
Collapse amber and yellow into a single accent [Yellow], remove the neutral accent due to UI isuses, and darken light-mode accents across the board to be more visible.
