Add a toggle to control the IS_MUSIC=1 selector.
This is normally used to remove non-music like podcasts and ringtones,
however some people use Auxio was a general-purpose audio player for
these files, so this setting can be used to disable that selector and
load non-music.
Resolves#246.
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.
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.
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.
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 ,.
Make the shape of the play/pause buttons throughout the app morph from
a circle if paused to a square if playing.
Android 13 seemingly does this to their play/pause button, so we copy
it too.
Tangentally related to #162.
Migrate MediaSessionComponent to android 13.
This was primarily implementing custom actions with the media session
and adding some extra bug fixes that I was already planning. I was
really hoping that google fixes the nightmarish mess that was the
previous MediaStyle notification, where I had to update the session
and then the notification in a tight dance with clever tricks to not
get rate-limited, but nope. I still have to do exactly the same thing
as beforehand, but with even extra insanity due to the custom actions.
Auxio tried to leverage built-in android string attributes for Ok and
Cancel while still completing them for other translations that were not
supported by the OS.
Turns out this was a terrible idea when I switched to Weblate, which
has no knowledge of this trick and could lead to a misleading
translation value. Remove it.
Resolves#215.
Move all menu functionality from long-click to a menu button.
This is in preparation for #93, as I need to free up the long-click
for a selection option. The spacing isn't really consistent at all,
but that's because I wanted to make something that looks right
depending on the context.
Replace the song options button in the playback menu with a button that
opens the equalizer.
I plan to re-introduce the song options in another location.
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.
Update transitions in the home fragment to X-axis.
I noticed a visual issue in the detail transition in the existing
version stemming from how the main fragment's drawing is clipped by
the bottom sheet, resulting in a less-than-ideal Z-axis transition.
While I wanted to fix this by attempting to switch to inset based
bottom sheet management, I still need to wait for more changes in
order to successfully pull that off, and hence I'll be reverting it
soon.
Moving these transitions to X-axis prevents this visual issue while
still being roughly semantically similar.
Add an item type indicator to the top of the detail header.
This is primarily for release type functionality, but also makes it
more clear the item one is looking at.
Fix lints that have accumulated over time.
Apparently Android Studio just...stopped using lints. For no reason. I
had to upgrade to the beta version to actually get lints.
Remove useless id fields from Headers, replacing them with vlaues
related to their string resource.
String resources and disc numbers are more or less garunteed to be
unique in Auxio's context.
Fix two issues where Auxio's widget could not be resized to a single
cell, and another where covers would not load into the widget.
The first is caused by a random, subtle change that completely changed
up the minHeight size calculation regarding widgets. Thus, we need to
lower it for android to recognize it still as 1 cell. I cannot believe
we can't just specify the specific minimum grid size that our widget
takes up, like you know, iOS did, nearly a decade after widgets were
first added in Android.
The second is an absurd race condition stemming from me hitting the
RemoteViews memory limit. Turns out my cover bitmaps were simply too
big. Getting them below the limit requires me to resize them to a puny
~500 pixels. Why can't we just render our own views into our widget?
You know, like iOS did, nearly a decade after widgets were first added
to Android.
Nah, screw modernizing the broken widget API. Let's just vaguely copy
iOS widgets because we have to while not fixing a single issue plaguing
widget development on this OS. That way some google engineer can get
promoted faster.
Use BottomSheetBehavior with the playback sheet.
This is the result of two weeks of painful hacking to get a working
implementation that did not immediately have a brain aneursym. It
also requires me to still vendor BottomSheetBehavior for the time
being. However, this greatly reduces technical issues on my end and
allows the addition of new playback UI concepts, while still
retaining the UI fluidity of prior.
Unify the background state layers of the entire app by overriding
colorControlHighlight.
Lots of components still use it, so it's beneficial to make it
consistent with the rest of the app theming.
Rework the queue internally to decouple the queue from playback and
better respond to reshuffling.
This is being implemented under the assumption that I will be
implementing the sliding queue eventually.
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.
Rework album types into release types, with additional support for live
albums, remixes, and mixtapes.
This is not a complete implementation, nor is it meant to be. I don't
want to add technical complexity handling Remix Compilations or
DJ-Mixes unless there is demand.
Update MDC to the alpha version in order to use some extra features.
I was planning to switch to the new MaterialSwitch, but alpha03 has
this insane crippling issue with ripples that blocks such. Use alpha02
and prep the app for the addition of the switch.
Set the enforce*BarContrast methods to false above API 29, so we can
use fully transparent navigation and status bars.
Previously, we used a mostly transparent color for such, but now, we
can use a completely transparent color without it being changed to
match contrast.
Implement sort tag support in the ExoPlayer backend.
Sort tags for grouping is still derived from the templates. Album
artist sort tags are only picked if one is present. System might be
a bit buggy at the moment given that it messes with grouping/sorting
a little.
Resolves#172.
Add a "Last Added" sorting option to the home UI's song list.
I don't know if there is any demand for last added in other contexts.
That will be resolved later.
