FINALLY update to MDC 1.7.0. After over half a year.
I have been continually blocked by doing this due to this absurd ripple
bug that was so continually frustrating. Today, I finally figred out
how to hack a fix in by using R E F L E C T I O N and manually
disabling the bugged code path since google apparently can't be bothered
to fix it.
Now, you might wonder why I didn't update to 1.8.0. That is because
there is ANOTHER RIPPLE BUG. THIS TIME WITH THE TAB LAYOUT. AND ONLY IF
IT'S IN A COLLAPSING TOOLBAR LAYOUT. Can't wait to finally use the new
1.8.0 features in December!
Redesign the header component to be more aligned with M3 guidelines.
This includes moving the divider to the top when reasonable, using a
smaller font size, and using a tinted coloration to separate itself
from the list contents.
Redocument the detail, home, image, and list modules.
Much of this project's documentation has drifted from actual
functionality, and newer code is pretty sparely documented.
This commit seeks to rectify that by redocumenting every source
file in this project.
Refactor all Backend instances into a new package called extractor and
a new structure called "Layer".
Layers are no longer generalized into an interface. Instead, they build
on eachother in order to produce a correct output of raw songs.
One of these layers is a stub class to eventually implement caching.
This changeset also phases out the "Ignore MediaStore tags" setting, as
it is no longer needed.
Auxio tried to leverage built-in android string attributes for Ok and
Cancel while still completing them for other translations that were not
supported by the OS.
Turns out this was a terrible idea when I switched to Weblate, which
has no knowledge of this trick and could lead to a misleading
translation value. Remove it.
Resolves#215.
Move all menu functionality from long-click to a menu button.
This is in preparation for #93, as I need to free up the long-click
for a selection option. The spacing isn't really consistent at all,
but that's because I wanted to make something that looks right
depending on the context.
Update transitions in the home fragment to X-axis.
I noticed a visual issue in the detail transition in the existing
version stemming from how the main fragment's drawing is clipped by
the bottom sheet, resulting in a less-than-ideal Z-axis transition.
While I wanted to fix this by attempting to switch to inset based
bottom sheet management, I still need to wait for more changes in
order to successfully pull that off, and hence I'll be reverting it
soon.
Moving these transitions to X-axis prevents this visual issue while
still being roughly semantically similar.
Unify the background state layers of the entire app by overriding
colorControlHighlight.
Lots of components still use it, so it's beneficial to make it
consistent with the rest of the app theming.
Update MDC to the alpha version in order to use some extra features.
I was planning to switch to the new MaterialSwitch, but alpha03 has
this insane crippling issue with ripples that blocks such. Use alpha02
and prep the app for the addition of the switch.
Remove the ripple resources and replace them with their system
counterparts.
This is to remove redundancy in-app and make the widget more consistent
with other android widgets.
Further rework the button layout to be alike to other modern widgets.
This changeset transforms the play button into a FAB-ish thing,
makes spacing coherent between the uses of each layout, and adds
spacers to make the buttons layout in a more appealing way.
Completely rework Auxio's iconography based on the new material symbols
icon set.
This does the following:
1. Switches the sharp + filled icon style to an outlined + round icon
style.
2. Removes 32dp icons from everywhere except the playback panel.
This does not:
1. Actually handle optical sizes right. This is going to take some more
work to make it harmonious with the current UI.
2. Update margins in some places to be harmonious with the new icons.
This is also going to take some more work to do properly.
Remove the TitleMidLarge style, replacing it with more Material3
attributes.
This finally removes all of the non-standard text styles. There is
still the two TitleMedium styles, but this is considered okay.
In the playback view, TitleMidLarge has become TitleLarge, which
honestly works quite well, as the same text styles are used in the
detail views.
Completely rework app typography.
Today I found out that inter has a tool that allowed you to generate
line spacings for a particular font size. Several hours later, I
regenerated the entirety of Auxio's typography to use this new system.
Moreso, I also tried to eliminate some of the non-standard text styles
that I was using prior. That failed. Mostly there's two edge-cases
regarding title bolding and the playback view that I simply cannot
work through right now, since M3's typography system is horribly
restrictive.
Remove the temporary 28dp hack that was applied to the playback bar.
This finally puts the playback bar in line with all other icon
components. The playback panel is still weird, but that's okay since
it's a full screen view and the buttons can take up more space.
Since I absolutely hate change, I had to effectively frog-boil myself
in order to do this, first downsizing the icon from 32dp to 28dp, and
then from 28dp down to 24dp. I can't believe I care about this so much.
Completely rework the excluded directory system into a new
"Music Folders" system.
This is implemented alongside a new "Include" mode. This mode
allows the user to restrict music indexing to a parsicular folder.
I've been reluctant to add this feature, as having two separate
options seemed bad. This resolves it by effectively packing whether
to include/exclude directories into a single option.
Resolves#154.
Completely rework the way Auxio handles icons.
This is mostly two changes:
1. Removing ImageButton/StyledImageButton for MaterialButton. This is
done by abusing MaterialButton's theming options to make it only show
an icon.
2. Standardizing icon sizes into small, medium, and large categories.
Small is the default, Medium and Large are for edge-cases like the
playback icons which look horrible at 24dp.
3. Abusing the Toolbar to make it follow Material 3 guidelines. This
mostly involved removing the strange icon sizing and correctly padding
the view.
4. Reworking the playback bar to use more, smaller icons, making it
more like a Toolbar in the process (which I like).
Rework the style of all album covers in the app to be more in line with
the new track number style.
This is mostly comprised of adding a new background to all cover views
and rescaling error icons to be smaller than they would normally be.
This also includes a change in the cover/track background color from
colorSurfaceVariant to colorOnSurfaceInverse, which seems to provide
the best visibility in all cases.
These changes also apply to the track number views.
Create a custom view for rounded images, making them more nuanced in
the process.
The previous method for applying rounded images in-app was generally
clunky and fragile. Introduce a new custom view that actually takes a
cornerRadius attribute from the ImageView itself that then applies it
whenever the user enables the setting. This also allows rounded images
to be more nuanced, as typical 8dp elevation can be used for small
views and a more fitting 16dp radius can be used for large views.
Rework how the fab's adaptive functionality works.
Handle fab adaptiveness by using a style instead of a fully custom
view. This helps eliminate a usage of private resources.
Crop all images to a 1:1 aspect ratio.
Sometimes cover art will not be a square. I never realized this because
all covers in my music library are square. This led to many strange bugs
that I would rather avoid, so create a new transformation that crops the
image to a 1:1 aspect ratio.
The reason why we use a transformation is that it won't be dependent on
the actual state of the ImageView, which is what would happen if we
used ScaleType.CENTER_CROP. In the case that we use a very weird hacky
ImageView like in the widgets, doing such would result in any cropping
not actually working correctly. It's better to do it in the
Transformation stage simply to ensure consistency.
Add a circular indicator to playback icons.
Sometimes it can be too difficult to tell apart the active and inactive
states of the shuffle/loop icons. However, there is really no good way
to improve the contrast on these icons without some kind of muddled UX
fragmentation, or god-awful design. Try to settle on the okay-est
version, which is to use colorPrimary with a dot indicator on views we
control, and use a more muddled semi-transparent icon on views we don't
control, like notifications and widgets.
Use body typography in more places, reworking the letter spacing as to
make it more pleasent to use with the inter typeface.
This should hopefully be the last time I fret over typography.
Everything should line up in the way desired by M3.
Remove the elevation component from all toolbars and the bottom bar.
Material3 states that top and bottom app bars should not cast a drop
shadow. Auxio ignored this and used one anyway. This largely stemmed
from incorrect use of the AppBarLayout styles, which were mostly just
incorrect M2 styles with a new background plastered over. Fix this
by creating a new style that inherits the proper M3 styles and then
using that on all AppBarLayout instances in the app.
Apply body typography in new places in the app.
For awhile, Body and Title typography were used interchangeably, as
they occupy the same text size range. This commit defines the Body
text as to be used for one-line widgets or tertiary widgets, while
the Title text is defined to be used for multi-line or heading widgets.
Completely rework the Context extensions for resources.
Previously, Auxio has used a strange hodge-podge of context extensions
and verbose code to get resources. Fix this by unifying most of the
resource accesses under a single, unified set of extensions. The only
ones excluded for now is the getString call, as that is used in far too
many places to effectively replace.
Migrate to the native roboto typeface on body elements.
Migrating to the native typeface saves on APK size, contributes to a
more native look and feel, and create a more compact UI for smaller
devices. Inter Semibold remains as the "Flair" type that distinguishes
Auxio from other apps.
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.
Completely refactor PlaybackBarLayout into PlaybackLayout, which now
not only handles the bar behavior but also allows for one to slide
up the bar layout into the full playback layout. This was largely
adapted from umano's AndroidSlidingUpPanel, albeit heavily minified
and mixed with the previous window inset tricks of the previous layout.
There are still some tweaks to be made, but this implementation seems
to be really good.
