Rename LoopMode to RepeatMode, which is generally much clearer
than the previous name.
This changes all non-breaking instances of "loop" in the app with
"repeat".
Update the album song layout to be more alike to other songs.
Recently I migrated the TextView in the album songs to use 48dp sizing,
like the other song views. However, this resulted in a lot of empty
space that felt off. Fix this by adding a light background to the track
number, which fills the room it takes up a bit more. It also hopefully
primes the track number to take an indicator once multi-select is
added.
Migrate all esoteric adapters to the new RecyclerView framework.
One of the shortcomings with the previous RecyclerView utilities was
how more esoteric adapters with data that does not implement Item
could not use the utlities. The new system, by comparison, is capable
of taking any type of data, so we can no migrate all of the esoteric
adapters to the new system.
Spin off the data instances into their own class called BackingData.
This is to isolate the sane adapters that rely on one type of diffing
from the insane adapters that use synchronous and asynchronous diffing
simultaniously. It also allows some of the more esoteric adapters to
implement their own backing data without much trouble or leaky
abstractions.
Remove databinding entirely.
Databinding was a terrible idea for Auxio. I rarely leveraged it, and
when I did, it produced messy code and bloated build times. Dumpster it
for just viewbinding, which is good. This reduces building times by
nearly 2/3, and generally makes the codebase more coherent and usable.
Migrate to a centralized constant table for easier management.
Previously, Auxio would tie constants to the class itself, which
led to a largely disjointed system that relied on an internal table
so that it would stay sane. This commit moves all of those constants
to a single table for easier usage and management.
Fix an esoteric crash with queue synchronization during the playback
restore process.
Auxio will attempt to re-synchronize the queue index whenever it is
desynchronized, however during the check for if it's desynchronized,
Auxio would do a direct index of the queue, which could result in a
crash in situations where the desynchronized index is outside of the
queue bounds.
Fix this by replacing that unprotected access with a protected access,
which not only fixes the crash but also still correctly detects
desynchronization in that case.
Resolves#89.
Remove all usages of memberBinding from the app.
For some reason, certain devices running Android 10 and lower will
have a lifecycle race condition whenever the theme is mis-matched.
This ends up resulting in an invalid state whenever memberBinder was
used. Since we can't replace memberBinder with a better solution,
just dumpster the whole thing. This platform is so god damn broken,
jesus christ.
Resolves#80.
Fix an issue where headset focus would restart playback unexpectedly.
At some point during the broadcast refactor, I accidentally switched
the values of CONNECTED and DISCONNECTED when handling
AudioManager.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG. This resulted in playback starting
for no reason in some situations.
Update the contribution information and templates.
The contribution information and templates were growing a bit stale,
given that they haven't gotten a refresh since ~1.3.0. This commit
reworks them to be more thorough and straightfoward.
Add an option to force-reload the app.
Currently, Auxio will load music once and then never re-load it. This
is a really decision I made early on and now regret completely. The
only way to remedy this properly is to create an automatic rescanning
system, but that is a major technical undertaking that I want to save
for later.
Resolves#71.
Completely refactor the way music is grouped up into artists and
albums.
The issue with previous attempts at implementing better artist
management was the reliance on MediaStore IDs in many parts of the
program. Dumpster this by merging the hash and ID values into a
single field that is garunteed to be unique enough. This allows songs
to be adequately grouped into case-insensitive artists while also
deduplicating albums that may have been split my MediaStore due to
heterogeneous formats.
Resolves#66.
Expose a custom MediaButtonReceiver that handles the media button
intent. This is not because I wanted to implement this. Some apps
like gadgetbridge just blindly query ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON instead of
relying on the more modern MediaController API, which I expected
most apps would use instead.
Resolves#62.
Extend edge-to-edge to versions below Android Oreo. This is done
through tinting the navigation bar colors on those versions,
circumventing the coloring issue.
Add a "Dynamic" replaygain mode inspired by the FooBar2000 plugin. This
will automatically determine whether the playback is in an album or not
and use the album gain or track gain accordingly.
Use a custom ExoPlayer fork with the FLAC extension enabled. This
greatly improves the listening experience, as it enables metadata
support on OGG files and FLAC files to be played below API 27.
I just spent 5 days trying to implement gapless playback using
ExoPlayer and Hopium. That's 5 days I'm never getting back. Heres
what I did add in the process though.
Switch auxio to a single-queue system. "Play next" adds songs to the top
of the queue, similar to before, and then "Add to queue" adds songs to
the bottom of the queue. This enables many more enhancements to be made
to the playback experience, at the cost of a feature I preferred.
Resolves#44.
Turns out playback controls wouldn't actually work because the view
would detach but not the actual fragment, resulting in onCreateView
never being called and the entire system falling apart. This fixes
it by just giving PlaybackLayout the viewmodel instance it needs.
I'll need to release a hotfix for this issue since this is really
easy the trigger and really hard to fix unless you know why it
occurs. Android lifecycles suck so much.
Simplify the accent scheme:
- Light Blue was re-generated to be a weird darker-on-light-mode
lighter-on-dark-mode blue that looked really similar to how blue-grey
turned out. These have been merged into a new color scheme called
deep blue.
- Deep Orange and Red were too similar after being re-generated, so
they have been merged to become a simple red accent.
Re-add the play/shuffle options to the song list, now as a header. This
seems to be the best option UX-wise, but the implementation is really
I think the best option regarding that is to extend this idiom to all
lists or split these fragments up. Both are reasonable.
Refactor the styling again to make all styles start with the Auxio
prefix. Also try to phase out the usage of layout_width and
layout_height in most places, since those can cause a lot of
frustration if they aren't used in the layout they are expected in.
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.
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.
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.
Make fast-scroller truncation more aggressive, mostly because on my new
ROM it seems like display calculations become a little wonky and cause
slight indicator cutoff. May as well add padding then so that
indicators [and the thumb by extension] actually fit and won't get
clipped.
ExoPlayer's online functionality will cause the library to request the
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission. We don't need this since we use
ExoPlayer for local playback only. For simplicity [and to remove a
weird suspicious permission, we just disable it]
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.
