Remove the ability for the FAB to disappear on scroll, mostly because
the state would not be consistent and it was generally bad UX when
combined with the fast scroller.
Merge the fast scroller back into Auxio once again, albeit this time
it's AFS instead of IndicatorFastScroll. This not only slims down the
implementation but also allows me to stop the scroller from appearing
every time the home view is recreated. All modifications were noted
and attribution is included to abide by the Apache 2.0 license.
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.
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.
Fix two annoying appbar issues:
- Appbar will collapse if the navigation sequence is too fast
- Tab ripple would paint over the indicator unless the ripple was unbounded [???]
The pre-Android 12 padding option was removed previously, but I've
decided to re-add it for stylistic cohesion with the material design
of those versions.
Add two new widget forms. The compact widget form shows the cover art
[this time with a proper aspect ratio] but no controls. The mini form
only shows the metadata. This seems to work well enough and provides
more choices with how one wants to decorate their homescreen with
Auxio's widgets.
Actually bother to add license boilerplate. Even though I've written
the entirety of Auxio, the boilerplate will be under "Auxio Project"
instead, as I don't want to share my real name.
Add preliminary compat for android 12 [API 31]. More changes may be
needed as time goes on, but its close enough to platform stability
to the point where its needed.
Yet another dependency upgrade churn:
Android Plugin -> 4.2.2
Material -> 1.4.0
Androidx Core -> 1.6.0
Apparently material deprecated a bunch of BottomNavigationView's stuff
for no good reason. Okay.
Fix some issues with PlaybackSessionConnector that resulted in the
position being stuck when a new song was played, alongside simplifying
the connector code to an extent.
Create a custom session connector that connects between
PlaybackStateManager and MediaSession. The previous session connector
that was part of the exoplayer library turned out to cause bugs that
could cause the covert art not to show on the lock screen and to not
be recognized as proper player controls. This new connector
[once complete] should fix these issues.
Remove the fixAnimInfoLeak hack since it seems that issue was fixed in the new android plugin, and once again modify with the styles to get the dialogs to use the correct style again.
Another day another magic flag I need to fiddle with to get this busted android app working. This platform sucks so much.
Do two things to the margin and padding system:
- Remove the redundant padding/margin dimens and replace it with a unified "spacing" dimen namespace
- Make most margin and padding dimens follow the divisible-by-8 rule in material design
Fix some problems where PlaybackStateDatabase wouldn't downgrade [Problem when hopping between dev builds with db changes] and with assertBackgroundThread being public.
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.
Fix two more fast scrolling issues:
- Fixed size of the view would cut off larger fonts
- Thumb would briefly show when the view would initially start
This custom view was a mistake, but anything for less kbs.
Drop the old IndicatorFastScroll library from Auxio and replace it with a hyper-specialized variant designed specifically for Auxio.
This not only eliminates a source of hacks/problems/bloat, it also removes a dependency on jcenter (Which is shutting down soon)
Change the album detail layout to rely on a RecyclerView entirely instead of a NestedScrollView, at the cost of some functionality I'll need to re-add.
Make it so that PlaybackStateDatabase stores the item data for PlaybackState/QueueItems as strings instead of ids, as ids are too volitaile if the music library changes.
Refactor/Rewrite the database system to be based on SQLiteOpenHelper instead of Room, as Room will keep empty columns around even after trying to explicitly delete them.
Use BottomNavigationView as the main navigator of Auxio instead of a ViewPager + BottomNavigationView, primarily to fix some memory leaks and give Auxio a better UI design overall.
Fix a recreation bug where MainActivity wont hide LoadingFragment, Fix a bug where artist click listeners wouldnt work, slightly tweak code here and there.
Completely switch over to use ImageRequest.Builder instead of the load extension function, spin off the Artist Image fetcher & Image BindingAdapters to a seperate module.
Update build settings to remove useless libraries [AppCompat], add useful libraries [LeakCanary], and also enable minifying on the release build [Which hadnt been enabled before somehow].
Remove the cover loading [For now] and permanently remove the genre loading, as both take too long to do in the loading screen. Will re-add album loading once more UI is added.
