Make resolvedName the standard name to use across all music items.
Previously, the way Auxio differentiated between names in UIs was to
use name for normal items and resolvedName for parents. This was odd
and disjointed, as it muddled the meanings of the two fields and lead
to a lot of bugs. Fix this by making resolvedName *the* standard name
to use across all music items, even in ones that don't have to resolve
their name.
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.
Rework logging to be clearer and more standardized.
Rework all usages of lossing to follow a single unified style,
introducing a new "warn" option alongside this.
Crop all images to a 1:1 aspect ratio.
Sometimes cover art will not be a square. I never realized this because
all covers in my music library are square. This led to many strange bugs
that I would rather avoid, so create a new transformation that crops the
image to a 1:1 aspect ratio.
The reason why we use a transformation is that it won't be dependent on
the actual state of the ImageView, which is what would happen if we
used ScaleType.CENTER_CROP. In the case that we use a very weird hacky
ImageView like in the widgets, doing such would result in any cropping
not actually working correctly. It's better to do it in the
Transformation stage simply to ensure consistency.
Add a circular indicator to playback icons.
Sometimes it can be too difficult to tell apart the active and inactive
states of the shuffle/loop icons. However, there is really no good way
to improve the contrast on these icons without some kind of muddled UX
fragmentation, or god-awful design. Try to settle on the okay-est
version, which is to use colorPrimary with a dot indicator on views we
control, and use a more muddled semi-transparent icon on views we don't
control, like notifications and widgets.
Fix an issue where headset focus would restart playback unexpectedly.
At some point during the broadcast refactor, I accidentally switched
the values of CONNECTED and DISCONNECTED when handling
AudioManager.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG. This resulted in playback starting
for no reason in some situations.
Completely rework the Context extensions for resources.
Previously, Auxio has used a strange hodge-podge of context extensions
and verbose code to get resources. Fix this by unifying most of the
resource accesses under a single, unified set of extensions. The only
ones excluded for now is the getString call, as that is used in far too
many places to effectively replace.
Modify the music loader to use the normal artist name when using song
titles while still retaining album artist functionality.
Oftentimes music files will be tagged as to use the artist tag to
specify performers, collaborators, and others, and then use the album
artist tag to group them up into a single artist. Previously, Auxio
would only use the album artist tag, which flattened the collaborator
information out for consistency. Resolve this by implementing a sort
of "resolved artist name" for songs that is used in the UI and nowhere
else. This seems to work well, but at the same time further ruins the
API surface for handling music objects. An acceptable price to pay
for a better UX.
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.
Forgot that coil's RoundedCornerTransformation is dependent on the
resolution of the image, resulting in inconsistent rounded corners.
Fix this by just doing the plain clipToOutline to round album covers.
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.
Make the default widget size 3x2 again. This is because the UX is
generally nicer if the smaller widget is used as the default and
because the small widget is now no longer text-only and ugly.
Upgrade to coil 2.0.0 and completely refactor the usage of coil to work
with the new library structure. This also fixes the issue where error
icons will just re-appear due to blocking calls. I had to add a fix on
my end and also use the new caching system in coil 2.0.0.
Update the image behavior for the following:
1. Use ic_album as the default image for songs and albums this just
looks beter in general.
2. Use a special default drawable for the widget so that it doesn't
look as strange.
3. Generally update the loading process throughout the app
Update the small/wide widgets to show just the cover art and controls.
This is for two reasons:
1. The old layouts wasted space, which didn't make them look very good
2. I want to add a more Material3-eque "Stylistic" widget option for
the people who want them. Doing this allows me to pack that option into
the widget without having to add a new option.
Migrate to 100% Material3 text styling. I had to basically ignore the
intended styling here just to get a sensible design here, which is
"bad" but I do what I want. The only usage of MaterialComponents left
in the project now is the dialog since the new dialog style the worst
thing ever.
Use Material typography everywhere instead of using a mix of AppCompat
and Material styles. This is still based around MaterialComponents
though, as I'm not fully sure how to wield the new Material3 text
styles yet. This also completely phases out inter bold.
Revamp Auxio's icon entirely. Now it's generally more vibrant [won't
blend into the BG] and will actually has some style to it with an
angular song note instead of the default icon one.
Re-add 2x2 widgets. They were originally removed due to strange layouts
in landscape mode, but that has now been fixed with a new "tiny" layout
meant for that specific edge case. Also rename the widget forms to more
sensible names and make the small (previously minimal) widget be
text-only again.
Move the main loading response code to MainFragment and add a new
method for other objects to be notified of the progress of the
music loading process. There's probably a better way to do this,
but kotlin coroutines are so complex that I don't know where I
would start. This also adds some enhancements, such as the error
message now showing in more parts of the app and SearchFragment
now re-running the query if the MusicStore instance is loaded.
Make MusicLoader instantiation fully asynchronous. This implementation
changes a lot about Auxio. For one, the loading screen is now gone.
However, many parts of the app now run under the fact that MusicStore
might not be available. However, I don't think there will be too much bugs
from it. Some more changes will be made to improve this implementation.
Prevent issues with malformed widget forms on certain devices by
increasing the minimum widget height to 152dp, which is the height
that the minimal widget should take up.
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.
Make AlbumArtFetcher fall back to ExoPlayer's metadata system when
fetching covers. This is because some OEMs seem to cripple
MediaMetadataRetriever, which makes relying on that difficult. This
also modifies MosaicFetcher to rely on AlbumArtFetcher.
Resolves#51
Enhance widgets in a couple of ways:
1. Make the cover art expand to fit it's aspect ratio with padding
instead of the entire widget. This does the cover art justice and
is more visually appealing in general.
2. Add two new widget forms: Terminal, which applies to only the
smallest widgets, and Minimal, which applies to short and wide
widgets
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.
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.
Do the final utility refactor, placing custom views into a .ui
submodule and the general utils into a new .util module. This
system seems to stick well.
Move the progress bar to the bottom of CompactPlaybackFragment in both
orientations. Doesn't look the nicest right now, but will be when the
new home fragment is created.
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.
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.
Move the AndroidUtils file into the root Auxio directory, renaming it
to AuxioUtils as well. This also changes some methods to be extension
methods instead of argument functions.
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.
Fix an issue in the responsive layout backport where padding was not
factored into the calculations. This was the original issue that I
thought I fixed in e81d4b6d, but this fix seems to work alot better
from the launchers I tested [Trebuchet/Launcher3, Lawnchair].
