Rework some of the taped together ways context-dependent objects were
replied on in-app, such as removing redundant constructs and extremely
hacky lifecycle mechanisms.
Add support for albums to have a range of dates.
Often compilation albums will have Songs released in different months
or years, so it makes some sense to show a date range rather than just
the ealiest date.
The only point at which the earliest date is still shown is in the home
view's popup, as maxiumum dates in a date range are not sorted by, and
so showing it doesn't make sense.
Strengthen Auxio-style UIDs.
These UIDs now leverage SHA-256 hashes with null values now writing
themselves as 0 in order to avoid possible message collissions from
other value arrangements.
Redocument the music module.
Much of it's documentation has drifted from reality as changes were
made, this commit completely redoes the documentation in order to
fix that.
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.
More miscellanious tweaks I can't categorize since I have no time.
It's mostly attempts at improving animation visuals an failing. Really
want to switch to material animations once I can finally get the things
working.
Redefine the meaning of activation across the app to align with the SDK
documentation.
According to the documentation:
- Activation -> A permanent kind of selection initiated by the user.
This means playback states, item selection, etc.
- Selection -> A transient kind of selection that can be added or
removed without user input. This includes things such as playing
indicators.
Redefine usages of selection and activation across the app to align
with this.
Rework the music picker system to be a reactive, viewmodel-based system
instead of a janky UI system.
This should make it much easier to maintain and extend in the future.
Try to move multi-artist playback/navigation into a single function.
This function is really bad and is tacked onto the most convienent
location without much thought. I really wish to move this into the
ViewModel flow eventually, but I have no idea how to architecture
that. Oh well.
Show a list of artists that contain songs from a particular genre in
the genre UI.
This used to be in really early Auxio versions, but was intertwined
with some really stupid genre functionality that would include songs
from an entire artist for some reason. Since now albums can be shown
in several artist entires, it makes no sense now what artists can't
be given the same treatment.
If a song/album date has a month value, show it in the UI.
This hopefully improves the date experience for more well-tagged
libraries. Due to date limitations however, it is limited to
Android O onwards for now.
Add semi-complete support for multiple artists.
This changeset completely reworks the music linker to add the following
new behaviors:
1. Artists are now derived from both artist and album artist tags,
with them being linked to songs and albums respectively
2. Albums and songs can now have multiple artists that can be distinct
from eachother
3. Previous Genre picking infrastructure has been removed and replaced
with artist picking infrastructure. "Play from genre" has been retired
entirely.
This is a clean break to the previous artist model and may not work
with all libraries. Steps to migrate the music library will be added
to the changelog.
Resolves#195.
Keep changes when unshuffling and reshuffling the queue.
This quirk was a hold-over from the old queue system, and now it's
removed.
Note that sorting is still based on parent, and so sort orders might
remain somewhat wonky. I only see myself really tackling that come
gapless playback, as I have to remove that last vestige to get that
system working.
Add a dialog for picking a genre from several choices.
This basically completes multi-genre support in Auxio, save more
internal reworks.
Note that it is extremely likely that the "Play from genre" setting
will be removed soon. This feature has made me realize that such does
not many any real sense, as genres are more semantically similar to
playlists than artists or albums. This implementation only exists to
make multi-artist support an easy plug-and-play operation.
Resolves#201
Add support for compilation + live, compilation + remix,
and compilation + dj-mix release types.
This was not included due to the changes it required to the
parser. Turns out these changes are largely trivial if I do
more clever inlining.
Make UID structure dependent on the music mode.
This involves replacing the "tag" value with more structured fields and
appending the int code of the music mode to the UUID rather than making
it part of the UID's "tag". UIDs aren't quite a UUID, so this is
allowed.
Merge DisplayMode and PlaybackMode into a new class called MusicMode.
Both of these datatypes represented similar things, and thus it's much
easier to make them the same datatype. Moreover, it makes the
forthcoming addition of the music selector much easier if the same
datatype was tied to the representation of music.
This commit also moves around things around the project to be slightly
more coherent.
Phase out the dumb hack TaskGuard class in favor of yield.
For some reason, I was under the impression that yield was horribly
slow. It's not, I was just using it wrong. So now TaskGuard is no
longer needed.
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.
