Remove references to android system strings, in favor of in-house
translations.
Previously Auxio would use the `android.R.string.ok` and
`android.R.string.cancel` strings to represent Ok and Cancel
respectively, but these system strings are actually untranslated on
some devices, so it is better for i18n if we use our own strings
for such.
Implement a UI frontend for customizing the ReplayGain pre-amp value.
This finally completes Auxio's ReplayGain implementation. Not only
that, it also shows how Auxio can use positive ReplayGain values,
unlike other apps.
As a side-note, this also fiddles with the dialog style somewhat.
I got carried away.
Resolves#114.
Add sorting modes for duration and song count.
This was requested previously in the now-closed UI/UX changes
megathread, however I have only gotten to it now.
Finalize the disc number implementation within Auxio.
This is probably one of the most widely-requested features outside
of playlisting. This implementation also adds some more fine grained
sorting modes for disc numbers in particular, which actually removes
some of the quirkiness of the Sort class.
Resolves#96.
Split off the "songs loaded" about item into it's own card called
"library statistics"
This card includes the song, album, artist, and genre counts,
alongside a total duration of the music library. This is just more
informative and useful to the user.
Resolves#121.
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".
Rework audio focus to rely on the native ExoPlayer implementation
instead of a custom implementation.
Previously, we avoided ExoPlayer's AudioFocus system as it never
played after a transient lost. A few versions later now through,
now it does, so we may as well switch to it. This does introduce
a bug where ReplayGain functionality will conflict with audio
focus, but I hope to eliminate this with #115 as I switch to
an AudioProcessor instead of a callback.
Turn the headset focus setting into the headset autoplay setting.
The way auxio handles headsets is...odd. Sometimes the MediaSession
handles it and Auxio could not care less, and sometimes Auxio actually
needs to handle it. As a result, the idea of being able to disable
headset focus is more or less moot because it will only apply to some
devices and not others.
On the other end, the way Auxio automatically begins playback once a
headset is plugged in is also quite weird. It only works on wired
headsets, and when it does, it overrides all other apps that might
also be playing audio. It's not to say that it's a bad feature, but
it's also one that I don't want to make the defualt. Auxio should
still play along within the confines of Android's expectations, after
all.
Replacing the existing "Headset focus" setting with a new "Headset
autoplay" setting solves both of these issues, as it prevents a
mis-guided disabling of the setting that doesn't actually disable
the feature and it relegates the quirky autoplay behavior to an
setting not enabled by default.
Add a CHANGELOG document that keeps track of the past and current
release notes.
Making all of our releases rely on GitHub to keep track of them is not
really a good idea, so this document serves as a record of past release
changelogs just as a pre-caution. It also allows a live preview of the
next version whenever something is changed.
Improve the way track numbers are handled in the album detail view.
Previously, Auxio would show track numbers by simplying stringifying
the integer and then showing it in a TextView. This was problematic for
two reasons:
- Numerics from other languages like Arabic would not be respected
- Invalid track numbers [e.g 0] would be shown regardless of the
situation.
This commit fixes that by placing all track numbers through a format
string first, and showing a generic song icon instead of a number
whenever the track number is 0.
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.
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.
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.
Split screen layouts in android are completely borked. You can
resize Auxio down to the point where the UI is completely
unusable, and there is NO WAY TO SET A MINIMUM HEIGHT. This is
also not to mention that smallestScreenWidthDp is completely
busted too and still uses the size of the whole screen! Just
band-aid the first issue so that when the layout becomes so
small as to result in a messed up UI, just show a splash that
says that the app can't work at the specific window size.
Re-add the ability for content to fade out as the playback or queue
view slides up. This also migrates the queue slide animation to also
fade out content, which allows for the stylistic cohesion I desire.
Add an option to round album covers for people who might want more
visual cohesion with apps that have completely drunken the "Round
Everything!" kool-aid. Covers will still be hard-edged by default.
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.
The way Material3 uses an initial light accent seeds is...odd. It more
closely resembles deep purple [darker on light mode, lighter on dark
mode] in behavior. Therefore we simply rename the light accents to
this. This does mess up translations a lot, but I'll fix it when I
update the rest of the translations.
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.
Refactor the way music models are constructed to achieve the following:
- Add a unified interface for resolving display names of artists
- Disambiguate the role of Header in the music objects
- Eliminate the need to load strings in with a context when creating
Header instances
Instead of having a play/pause header at the top of the song list, use
a FAB instead. This allows people to shuffle all of their songs even if
the songs tab isn't enabled, and it can be tranformed into a create FAB
when playlists are added.
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.
Improve the queue UI some more:
- Fixed an issue where clearing the user queue by clearing all items would
result in it bugging out
- Queue items now show a Material-y background when they are swiped
away. This was way harder than you might think it was.
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.
Completely refactor the detail module. This is for a few reasons:
- Prevent data regeneration every time a fragment re-creates.
- Make DetailModel follow the customs of other ViewModels.
- Simplify layouts into a single detail item to reduce code
complexity.
Currently sorting doesn't work, but that is still being worked out
as the legacy SortMode continues to be phased out of Auxio.
Re-add sorting to HomeFragment, except heavily improved. The major
improvement here is the addition of song sorting, which was a heavily
requested feature judging by #16. The setting does not save yet and
is not present in the detail fragments, but it is still a major
milestone for the new home ui.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Completely refactor the blacklist dialog to not only use the Storage Access Framework, but also to completely eliminate the material dialogs dependency.
Collapse amber and yellow into a single accent [Yellow], remove the neutral accent due to UI isuses, and darken light-mode accents across the board to be more visible.
Add some [Likely broken] german translations using a mix of other sources, my own knowledge, and a english-deutsch dictionary. Ill try to improve these as I go along as theyre the only ones that I'm really able to translate.
Move the ability to search for songs to SongsFragment for better consistency. May switch to a dedicated search tab in the future but I generally like how this looks.
