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.
Add a basic framework for user-customizeable separators.
This is designed to be extendable if needed, albeit the app will likely
only let the user choose between +, ;, /, &, and ,.
Remove the "Off" ReplayGain setting, as it is mostly meaningless.
Users who don't want ReplayGain can remove the tags from their files.
No efficiency benefits either since the audio processor is always
disabled without replaygain tags. It is better not to confuse users
who do have ReplayGain but wonder why it is not working on their
files because the setting is off.
Add the ability to customize the bar action to the repeat mode or
shuffle state.
This is a much smaller implementation than what I planned, mostly
because other options did not make much sense (queue) or were
superceded by better options (clear state).
Resolves#108.
Add an option to clear the currently saved playback state.
This does not clear playback entirely, but rather remove the saved
state so that it's not restored on the next startup. This is generally
the cleanest solution compared to allowing state restore to be toggled,
which opens up a bunch of race conditions.
Resolves#107.
Add automatic rescanning, for real.
This is the culmination of 6 months of work to make Auxio respond to
music updates and to research the most versatile implementation of
such. Is it the best system? No. It's actually a bit messy by necessity
in order to prevent bugs. Does it work well? Yes.
This will not be enabled by default, as it does require a battery
draining foreground service and is generally not useful for most
circumstances.
So glad to be done with this.
Resolves#72.
Rework the rounded covers option into a new "Round Mode" option.
This commit extends the rounded corners configuration to now the
widget, thus making the setting apply now to covers, the bar, and
the widget configuration. This makes a naming change useful.
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.
Rework Sort again into a new class that leverages a better Mode design
and static comparator instances.
This somewhat improves efficiency, but is also far easier to work with
and has far less footguns with adding new sorts.
Add a new "Detail playback mode" option that allows one to configure
what selecting a song will do in an album/artist/genre.
This is mostly a clone of the prior setting, just in a new context.
Resolves#164.
Rework the preference classes to reduce the horrible bloat of the
recursivelyHandlePreference function.
This was mostly implementing new methods into IntListPreference and
adding a new preference to represent the weird, "generic" dialogs that
are used at points. While some preferences still need to be tweaked in
recursivelyHandlePreference, it is nowhere near as bad as it was prior.
Revamp the shared object SettingsManager into a standalone utility
called Settings.
This makes many things easier in Auxio. It completely unifies the key
format that we use (Android Strings instead of Java consts), eliminates
the pretty dumb initialization method that we use, and eliminates the
dubiousness of holding a Context-related utility in a global field.
The only cost was having to migrate even more ViewModels to Android
ViewModels. Whatever.
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.
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.
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.
Refactor sorting again to support free-floating ascending/descending
values on every single sort mode. This enables greater freedom in how
users can sort their music and allows me to finally get rid of the
old legacy sematic sorting modes that chose their ascending/decending
order depending on how they wanted it.
