Expose the queue in the MediaSession, at least I hope.
The queue is still not mutable. Don't feel comfortable implementing that
until I rework the in-app queue UI.
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.
Add a new Date class to represent both years and more fine-grained
dates extracted using the ExoPlayer metadata system.
In-app, the year is still shown, but sorting will use the new precision
when present. The MediaSession will also post an RFC 3339 formatted
date with this new precision, as the MediaSession documentation states
I should. No clue if the latter will cause any bugs with naive metadata
UIs in other apps.
Resolves#159.
Fix two major highlighting bugs based around the janky and stupid way
I would handle highlighting previously.
Previously, I would index the views of a RecyclerView in order to
highlight viewholders. In retrospect this was a pretty bad idea,
as viewholders could be in a weird limbo state where they are bound,
but not accessible. I mean, it's in the name. It's a Recycling View.
Fortunately, google actually knew what they were doing and provided
a way to mutate viewholders at runtime using notifyItemChanged.
And the API actually makes sense! Wow! Migrate all detail adapters
to a system that uses notifyItemChanged instead of the terrible
pre-existing system.
Fix a regression where media button controls would no longer work
with GadgetBridge.
In 4a79de4, I assumed that my code was redundant, as there should be
some kind of reciever handling media button events already. I was
completely wrong. Re-add the reciever code (with extra checks) to
make controls work again.
Switch from LiveData to StateFlow.
While LiveData is a pretty good data storage/observer mechanism, it has
a few flaws:
- Values are always nullable in LiveData, even if you make them
non-null.
- LiveData can only be mutated on Dispatchers.Main, which frustrates
possible additions like a more fine-grained music status system.
- LiveData's perks are exclusive to ViewModels, which made coupling
with shared objects somewhat cumbersome.
StateFlow solves all of these by being a native coroutine solution with
proper android bindings. Use it instead.
Move the loading screen into the home view.
Previously, we would use a Snackbar to track the music loading state.
This ended up being a pretty stupid and buggy idea, and would get even
worse with the new music loader changes. Instead, we re-implement the
loading screen into the home view to generally be more sane and
extendable compared to previously.
Revert the introduction of the thin/tiny widgets, but keep the new
cover layout I created while working on them.
There is simply no way I can cram controls and metadata within the
size bucket that the thin widget occupies. I have decided to give up
and revert the widget to it's old form.
I understand why the thin widget is not appealing. However, the sizing
at which a widget can properly accomodate a taller widget is just too
precise and not really large enough to justify it's existance.
Do some miscellanious formatting reworks.
1. Remove all instances of m in favor of _. _ is only used when names
collide or if something should be internal.
2. Make fragments apply their own click listeners.
3. Remove instances of inc/dec and replace them with the more
straightfoward + 1 or - 1.
Rework the style of all album covers in the app to be more in line with
the new track number style.
This is mostly comprised of adding a new background to all cover views
and rescaling error icons to be smaller than they would normally be.
This also includes a change in the cover/track background color from
colorSurfaceVariant to colorOnSurfaceInverse, which seems to provide
the best visibility in all cases.
These changes also apply to the track number views.
Update the album song layout to be more alike to other songs.
Recently I migrated the TextView in the album songs to use 48dp sizing,
like the other song views. However, this resulted in a lot of empty
space that felt off. Fix this by adding a light background to the track
number, which fills the room it takes up a bit more. It also hopefully
primes the track number to take an indicator once multi-select is
added.
Remove databinding entirely.
Databinding was a terrible idea for Auxio. I rarely leveraged it, and
when I did, it produced messy code and bloated build times. Dumpster it
for just viewbinding, which is good. This reduces building times by
nearly 2/3, and generally makes the codebase more coherent and usable.
Switch to the spotless linter with ktfmt used as a backend instead of
ktlint.
This switch was done for two reasons:
1. ktfmt is more thorough than ktlint
2. License headers can be added more effectively with spotless than
the default Android Studio behavior.
Dump all of the changes now so I don't have to deal with it over a long
period of time. I don't care.
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.
Bundle our custom ExoPlayer components into aar instead of directly
depending on the project. This just makes things far better regarding
ease of use and reproducible builds.
Actually migrate to API 32 [Android 12L], co-inciding with the upgrade
of my studio install and the android gradle plugin. Alongside this, add
a bunch of fixes for lints that the new studio picked up.
Use a custom ExoPlayer fork with the FLAC extension enabled. This
greatly improves the listening experience, as it enables metadata
support on OGG files and FLAC files to be played below API 27.
Make it so that the keyboard is only opened on the search view when
it's initially created instead of when it's loaded from the
backstack. This is just nice for overall UX.
