Drop the Bridge theme and completely migrate to material. This is for
two reasons:
- To make Material You less painful
- Improve coloring [Dark mode, other colors, etc].
Most of the previous UI elements were kept [no rounded corners], but
did come at the cost of removing the hint tagline from the search bar
since there was simply no good way to integrate it. There are also
some other miscellanious issues [Weird selection menus, dividers are
not migrated still], but those will be fixed in future commits.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Add the first widget implementation, the minimal widget. This took a
good 2 days of hacking and frustration to get the first prototype
working. And even then, its currently scoped to android 12 until I'm
able to port them. The implementation is still quite rough, but should
become manageable over time. More widgets will come.
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.
Update the auxio icon to be cleaner, make the debug icon more noticable compared to the mainline icon, and move all v26+ adaptive icons to drawable-anydpi-v26, as that is only where they are needed.
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.
