Completely rework the excluded directory system into a new
"Music Folders" system.
This is implemented alongside a new "Include" mode. This mode
allows the user to restrict music indexing to a parsicular folder.
I've been reluctant to add this feature, as having two separate
options seemed bad. This resolves it by effectively packing whether
to include/exclude directories into a single option.
Resolves#154.
Add a non-queue version of the song menu to the playback panel.
While the original UI flow of clicking on each TextView to navigate
to a particular item is still present, this simply makes the action
more clear to a first-time user.
Remove scientific notation from the auxio icon, allowing me to
reintroduce it to the notification icon.
API 21 does not support scientific notation in vector drawables, so we
need to remove them from the icon for it to not crash the system ui.
When ReplayGain is not needed, use ByteBuffer.put in favor of a for
loop when doing a simple copy.
ByteBuffer.put is highly optimized and far more efficient than a for
loop.
Add a new view called ImageGroup that will handle all advanced image
hacks from now on.
This includes the indicator (which is now animated), any selection
indicators, and the weirdness of the album song image. All of that
is now handled by ImageGroup. This is the culmination of probably
a day and a half of wrangling with android insanity and having to
remove a lot of what I liked about the indicator in order to make
this work on a basic level.
The only major bug I am currently aware of with this is that the
indicator is bugged out on Lollipop devices due to bad vectors.
Again.
I never want to do this again. I cannot believe that adding a basic
indicator took this long and required so much stupid hacks and
inefficient code. And then google wonders why android apps are so
visually unappealing and janky and laggy. Hm. Must be that devs aren't
using the brand new FooBarBlasterFlow library!
Add a playing indicator to cover art.
This is simply to improve the general aestethics of this view. Of
course, the current way I implement this is incredibly stupid and I
plan to replace it.
Completely rework the way Auxio handles icons.
This is mostly two changes:
1. Removing ImageButton/StyledImageButton for MaterialButton. This is
done by abusing MaterialButton's theming options to make it only show
an icon.
2. Standardizing icon sizes into small, medium, and large categories.
Small is the default, Medium and Large are for edge-cases like the
playback icons which look horrible at 24dp.
3. Abusing the Toolbar to make it follow Material 3 guidelines. This
mostly involved removing the strange icon sizing and correctly padding
the view.
4. Reworking the playback bar to use more, smaller icons, making it
more like a Toolbar in the process (which I like).
Supply a view to WindowInsetsCompat.toWindowInsetsCompat through all
calls in the app.
This does nothing, but it would resolve future bugs if I were to use
the most exotic window inset types.
On the playback par, pick the larger inset out of the system bar
insets or system gesture insets.
This is to fix an issue where android just does not provide correct
gesture insets on Android 12L, and [maybe???] fix what is going on
in #149.
Rework PrimitiveBackingData into SyncBackingData.
Google says that you should not use DiffUtil on the main thread, as it
is far too slow. In practice, the time it takes to diff is negligable,
even more so when costly diffs are filled in with a replace call
instead. Not only that, but switching to a synced list differ fixees
the horrible nightmare that is the queue adapter. Generally a win-win
for most use-cases in Auxio.
Improve Indexer's state management by splitting up the current loading
state and the last response.
This is intended to resolve a bug where if the UI task and
IndexerService are both killed, the Indexer state would become
indeterminate and the library would not show. Resolve this by keeping
track of whatever the last completed state was and falling back to it
whenever the loading process is canceled.
Add a dedicated service towards the loading of the music library.
This new service was created for two reasons:
1. Music loading is slow and resource-intensive, so putting it on the
ViewModel layer just didn't seem right and made it vulnerable to the
OS simply stopping the loading process.
2. For automatic rescanning [#72], there must be something watching
the music library and waiting for a change in the background. This
would require a service as that is probably the least insane way to
do that kind of background work.
I have no garuntees how viable the service might be. If anything, it
might be halted by some insane android restriction or issue that
makes it more or less impossible to use for most apps, and I will have
to largely drop truly automatic rescanning.
Rework loading management into a new object, Indexer, which should act
as the base for all future loading changes.
Indexer tries to solve a two issues with music loading:
1. The issue of what occurs when tasks must be restarted or cancelled,
which is common with music loading.
2. Trying to find a good strategy to mediate between service and
ViewModel components in a sensible manner.
Indexer also rolls in a lot of the universal music loading code
alongside this, as much of MusicStore's loading state went unused
by app components and only raised technical challenges when reworking
it.
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 state restore issue that would cause the parent to restore
incorrectly.
At some point, I accidentally used the index for the PlaybackMode field
when restoring the playbackState. This resulted in the playback mode
effectively reverting to ALL_SONGS and causing a number of subtle
issues.
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.
Make addCallback calls (or similar) initalize the caller by calling the
specific callback methods.
This is primarily intended as a fix to an issue where the music library
would actually reload during a warm start. This is extremely bad, but I
hope it doesn't make the app too unusable until the next version.
Move out the MediaStoreCompat interface into a full interface called
Backend.
In preparation for direct metadata parsing, it would be useful to
create some kind of object system to properly handle the capabilities
of each metadata indexing mode. Backend fulfills that by allowing
each object to implement their own query and then loading routine.
This system is designed somewhat strangely. This is firstly because
the ExoPlayer metadata backend will have to plug in to the original
MediaStore backend, so making methods more granular allows the
ExoPlayer backend to avoid some of the stupid inefficiencies from
the actual MediaStore backend, such as the genre loading process.
We also want to separate the steps of loading music in order to
more adequately show the current loading process to the user in
a future change.
Implement a safe slider wrapper that does not crash with invalid values
as often.
Slider is a terrible component that is not designed with Auxio's
use-case in the slightest. Instead of gracefully degrading with invalid
values, it just crashes the entire app, which is horrible for UX.
Since SeekBar is a useless buggy version-specific sh******ed mess too,
we have no choice but to wrap Slider in a safe view layout that
hopefully hacks with the input enough to not crash the app when doing
simple seeking actions.
I hate android so much.
Resolves#140.
Create separate routines to parse disc and track numbers in the most
optimal manner.
On API 30 (Android R) and above, ensure that we are using the superior
CD_TRACK_NUMBER and DISC_NUMBER database fields, while below API 30,
stick with the normal TRACK field.
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.
Also use the gesture insets on playback panel.
Turns out when the panel uses normal insets, the playback panel is
extremely close to the system bars. Fix this by using the bigger
gesture insets.
Resolves#137.
Hack around more insane lollipop bugs, such as:
- The angular auxio icon crashing the system UI
- Optimized icons being corrupted
- Setting image alpha not working properly
I really wish I could drop support for this horrible version, but I
either have to wait for a major library to drop support or for the
usage numbers to reach 1%.
Replace the hodge-podge framework of state restoration and URI playing
with a single "delayed action" system.
Auxio's initialization routine is a total cluster----. This is mostly
because it involves multiple asynchronous operations such as music
loading, state restore, and service starting which tend to make it
highly prone to race conditions and other insanity.
In particular, the way Auxio would attempt to restore playback and
handle file opening was a spaghetti pile of bad API boundaries and
dubious UI code. This has not changed. I want to move this routine
to the service, but it's lifecycle is also sh------ed to such an
extent where that would be nearly impossible. Instead, this commit
introduces a new "delayed action" system that bites the bullet and
allowes PlaybackViewModel to accept a context and an action in
return for initializing playback...eventually.
I tried my best to eliminate as much memory leaks as I physically
could here, but could only go so far. Still though, even this insane
system is better than the UI-level LiveData shenanigans I did
previously, and actually works compared to the broken android
components that google keeps wanting you to use.
Remove references to android system strings, in favor of in-house
translations.
Previously Auxio would use the `android.R.string.ok` and
`android.R.string.cancel` strings to represent Ok and Cancel
respectively, but these system strings are actually untranslated on
some devices, so it is better for i18n if we use our own strings
for such.
Implement a UI frontend for customizing the ReplayGain pre-amp value.
This finally completes Auxio's ReplayGain implementation. Not only
that, it also shows how Auxio can use positive ReplayGain values,
unlike other apps.
As a side-note, this also fiddles with the dialog style somewhat.
I got carried away.
Resolves#114.
Implement an internal setting for a ReplayGain pre-amp setting.
Pre-amp is a lot like above reference volume regarding Auxio's
ReplayGain implementation, where I want to implement it in order
to allow ReplayGain to graduate from being labeled "experimental".
No UI frontend has been implemented just yet.
Add sorting modes for duration and song count.
This was requested previously in the now-closed UI/UX changes
megathread, however I have only gotten to it now.
Rework the sort implementation to allow Auxio to leverage it's sorting
capabilities in a more powerful manner.
This is mostly the removal of stupid redunant methods and the change of
Sort overrides to sort in-place. This just gives us the option to avoid
full blown list copies in cases where such is reasonable.
Finalize the disc number implementation within Auxio.
This is probably one of the most widely-requested features outside
of playlisting. This implementation also adds some more fine grained
sorting modes for disc numbers in particular, which actually removes
some of the quirkiness of the Sort class.
Resolves#96.
Add the UI and data components for a disc number value within the album
detail view.
This is the first-step of a multi-step addition to finally implement
disc numbers.
Make MediaButtonReceiver an empty class without any behavior.
The previous manner in which Auxio would handle media button events
was actually bad, as in certain cases (like a rewind or if there was
no song playing) Auxio would actually crash, as the service would
not start a foreground state in time.
Fix this by removing that functionality. This should hopefully still
retain the current state.
Try to rework the playback service components to reduce race conditions
and improve readability.
This changeset has gone through a number of changes. I originally
wanted to unify all cover loading under a single "Component Manager",
but this turned out to be stupid given that the three service components
are different in nearly every way. Instead I just reworked them all
individually by introducing a new less-data race-prone image loading
framework, and moving around a bunch of code I was planning to move
around.
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.
Split off the "songs loaded" about item into it's own card called
"library statistics"
This card includes the song, album, artist, and genre counts,
alongside a total duration of the music library. This is just more
informative and useful to the user.
Resolves#121.
Rework state restore to be more coherent and in line with the new
member layout of the general
This primarily involves making the index the primary database attribute
in favor of song, with the old song id field becoming a sanity check
field.
