Make MusicLoader instantiation fully asynchronous. This implementation
changes a lot about Auxio. For one, the loading screen is now gone.
However, many parts of the app now run under the fact that MusicStore
might not be available. However, I don't think there will be too much bugs
from it. Some more changes will be made to improve this implementation.
My phone has just updated to Android 12, and Auxio looks very out of
place compared to the other themed APIs. Improve the usage of Material
You on the app icon and the widgets so that they line up a bit more.
Can't fully commit though since sometimes the colors can't be
replicated or because they don't look very good.
Finally add tab customization. This implementation is a
bit ugly, but I had to futureproof it for playlists and I'm
planning to clean up a lot of the duplicate code across the app.
This addition notably allows a default tab to be set, which is
something that was widely requested in #12. This UI rework finally
allows it to be added.
Mostly migrate to Material 3/Material You.
- Auxio should now follow dynamic colors on Android 12
- Accents have been regenerated to align with the new color roles
- Some colors have been tweaked here and there to line up with the
new design system
- Dialogs were not fully migrated, but that's because Material3 dialogs
look god-awful.
- Accent class was reworked to take up less memory
Now that this is out of the way, I can focus on other UI things before
the release of 2.0.0.
Do a couple of UI changes I thought of over this week:
- Make the detail header text neutral, mostly so I can make it so that
the accent only corresponds to active thingsd
- Remove the vanity elevation from the cover images. This is mostly to
abide by Material Design.
- Move the about screen to it's own menu slot on the main fragment.
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.
Remove the notification colorizing option. It's simply causing too many
bugs for it to be usable, especially on Android 11 with it's insane
behavior regarding album cover loading.
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.
Once again fix annoying issues that arise from the quirks of phone
landscape mode. A lot of these fixes can be re-rolled back into the
edge-to-edge code eventually, but it requires fitsSystemWindows to
be phased out entirely.
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.
Auxio would usually open links by trying to walk through the app
chooser/default app situation themselves, mostly for compat purposes.
This method was not only broken in Android 11 with the addition of
the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission, but it also seems to be made
obsolete since the android system seems to handle the app choser
pretty well in 11+. As a result, we replace the link opening code on
that version with a plain startActivity call and keep the old compat
code for older versions.
Resolves#47.
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.
Add a nice elevation effect to queue dragging operations. This has no
purpose outside of looking nicer. Luckily it doesn't effect queue
behavior at all.
Remove the SHOW_ALL variant from DisplayMode, replacing it with null
in SearchFragment where it was initially used. This allows all the
home pager fragments to be combined into a single HomeListFragment
that simply chooses a DisplayMode.
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 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.
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.
Add a new option to pause playback whenever a song loops [e.g while in
LoopMode.TRACK]. This does mean that we can no longer use exoplayer's
native looping system, but it doesn't seem to be that much of an issue.
Resolves#29.
Improve the black theme selection color by merging it with the dark
theme selection coler. This makes the selection color both more
noticable and reduces the style complexity that came from having to
manage two different selection colors.
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.
Upgrade the detail sorting system to:
- Persist beyond the app lifecycle [as other sort modes do]
- Be used when creating a queue for a genre/artist/album
Use unique-ish hashes in the playback state system instead of the less efficent and less reliable string system.
This cuts save times in ~half and improves restore times by ~1/3.
Yeah, this is like the 4th time I've changed this system but unless I have some major loader refactor I
think this wont change again.
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.
Change the loop behavior to something that is actually sensible,
with [ ] looping the whole playlist and [ 1 ] looping the song.
This also removes the "Do on end" setting. A new stop option may
be reintroduced, however.
This resolves issue #13.
Do some post-setting refactor cleanup:
- Make some extension functions for SettingsManager for convienence
- Remove dead code from before the int migration
- Update semantics here and there
Update the structure of the settings system to do several things:
- Finally use int preferences everywhere instead of the mix of strings & ints from before
- Create a new preference named `IntListPreference` that enables the use of integers in list preferences
- Actually centralize array values and default values into a single integers xml
- Isolate all the new migration code into a single file
- Refreshed the int tables used by data objects [DB version has been updated, will not update when other changes]
The only preference not migrated is doAtEnd since that is being planned to be retired in a future LoopMode update.
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
