Rework some of the taped together ways context-dependent objects were
replied on in-app, such as removing redundant constructs and extremely
hacky lifecycle mechanisms.
Always scroll to the top of the queue list when the current song
changes.
This way, the user can see future items rather than past items.
In an ideal world, I would try to go to the center of the queue, but
it seems like the "average" scroll tends to settle at the top no
matter what I do, so whatever. There's also a slight in-accuracy
in what the app considers the "Top" of the queue, but that's considered
minimally detrimental given how much a QoL improvement this is.
Resolves#210.
When resolving the names of several artists or genres, use a localized
separator instead of a comma.
This makes list values more correct in other languages, if properly
translated.
Add support for albums to have a range of dates.
Often compilation albums will have Songs released in different months
or years, so it makes some sense to show a date range rather than just
the ealiest date.
The only point at which the earliest date is still shown is in the home
view's popup, as maxiumum dates in a date range are not sorted by, and
so showing it doesn't make sense.
Formalize how whitespace tags are handled.
The checks for blank tags and removal of trailing whitespace from tags
are now the same function, carefully used to prevent blank tags from
setting through.
More testing will need to be done in order to fully ensure this system
will work as intended.
Fix an issue where genres consisting only of whitespace crash the genre
parser, and thus the music loader.
Band-aid this by moving the trimming code out of splitEscaped and into
maybeParseSeparators. In a future version I'll need to figure out how I
want to handle these weird edge cases.
Add support for MP4 ReplayGain tags. These are usually under a `----`
atom with an iTunes domain and ReplayGain description. These are
mapped to an ID3v2 internal frame within ExoPlayer, which is why
Auxio did not support them, as it only expected Vorbis comments and
ID3v2 TXXX frames.
Resolves#292.
Backport the code for full "Month + Year" dates to older versions with
the legacy Date API.
For the same of not missing bugs on newer devices, this is now what
will be used in Auxio.
Try to move multi-artist playback/navigation into a single function.
This function is really bad and is tacked onto the most convienent
location without much thought. I really wish to move this into the
ViewModel flow eventually, but I have no idea how to architecture
that. Oh well.
Show a list of artists that contain songs from a particular genre in
the genre UI.
This used to be in really early Auxio versions, but was intertwined
with some really stupid genre functionality that would include songs
from an entire artist for some reason. Since now albums can be shown
in several artist entires, it makes no sense now what artists can't
be given the same treatment.
Add a setting to hide "collaborators", that is artists that do not show
up on any album artist tags.
This is mostly for my own use since I don't get use from useless
collaborator entries.
If a song/album date has a month value, show it in the UI.
This hopefully improves the date experience for more well-tagged
libraries. Due to date limitations however, it is limited to
Android O onwards for now.
Unify the "Show Covers" and "Ignore MediaStore Covers" settings under an
new "Album covers" setting.
This will make it easier to extend to new forms of album cover
collection.
Add caching of already-parsed tag data.
This greatly reduces loading times when the music library has not
changed. This completes the music loader in it's entirety now.
Resolves#207.
Redesign the icon entirely.
Since the next release is 3.0.0, may as well refresh the icon.
- This icon is actually unique and not a reskinned material icon, which
I feel will diffentiate Auxio even more.
- While unique, it also blends into the surrounding app icons a lot
better, especially regarding using stroke/corner sizes.
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 support for MusicBrainz IDs (MBIDs) in both grouping and UID
creation.
This should help with very large libraries where artist names
collide, thus requiring differentiation through other means. It also
theoretically opens the door to fetch online metadata, however I don't
really care for that and it would violate the non-connectivity promise
of Auxio.
Resolves#202.
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.
Combine validation into a new finalization routine that now
individually validates and in the future may finalize certain
fields that require linking to be properly created.
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.
Use CollationKey when sorting music instead of String isntances.
This makes sorting aware of accented characters while still preserving
speed. I would ideally want to extend this to the search view too, but
there is no contains command in CollationKey, so I must continue with
the normalization method there.
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.
Fix some mistakes with the UID hashing process.
Some more work needs to be done regarding formalizing the datatype
and tagtype fields. If anything, I may just collapse them into a
single "tag" field since they are only used for equality.
Alternatively, I could make them integers to increase efficiency.
Depends.
Completely rework the ID system to pave the way to MusicBrainz ID
support and greatly increase ID integrity in general.
This changeset removes the old ID field, an emulation of a polynomial
hash that was used in all items, and replaces it with a new type called
UID that is specific to Music. Other types just use plain equals now,
and most instances of "id" to check for equality in the app have either
been inlined into an equals override or removed outright.
The new UID format is as follows:
datatype/format:uuid
Datatype is a tag that is just the lowercase tag name. For example,
"song". Format is the program that created the UID. auxio will be an
md5 hash, and musicbrainz will the a musicbrainz ID extracted from a
file. UUID is the uuid itself.
This is much more reliable and extendable than the old ID format. This
will also be the last time I break compat with old ID formats. From now
on, a legacy UID field will not be included to enable backwards compat,
when the time comes for a breaking change.
Add some functions to eventually enable multi-parent playback.
PlaybackMode is still used in some places, however will steadily be
phased out hopefully.
Fix a popup desynchronization issue in grid-based layouts.
This issue stemmed from the popup index calculation apparently not
needing a division by the span count in order to produce the correct
index. This kind of makes sense, but is still really weird.
Resolves#230.
Make the playing indicator animate when playback is ongoing.
Previously state issues stopped me from doing this, but apparently this
time I miraculously got it working. Yay.
Resolves#218.
Revert the song menu in the playback panel to being in the toolbar.
It was mostly inconsistent and cause a lot of truncation. I'll figure
out what I want to do when I implement liked songs.
Switch position math to rely on deciseconds (1/10th of a second)
instead of full seconds.
This makes seeking and position management much smoother, with minimal
performance cost. In the future I may try to migrate the playback state
so that the position calculations are done on the UI end, but this
works for now.
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.
Do not check for the version when managing the notification.
Some OEMs will update the android system, causing the version number to
change, but will THEN not update the system UI, completely breaking my
compat hacks. Because you know. Reasons. Fix this by always applying
future and obsolete methods of updating the media notification
regardless of the context.
Resolves#219.
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.
Add support for external AudioEffect implementers, like Wavelet.
Doing this involves doing a weird broadcast dance with AudioEffect
Intents at special points to indicate a valid audio session that
can be manipulated. Still has some issues, such as a null name
showing up in wavelet. As far as I am aware, this is the best
possible system I can do, and allows me to delegate an equalizer
implementation to other apps instead of making my own.
Resolves#211.
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.
Do not do a measure + inset method with BottomSheetContentBehavior,
instead, try to re-apply window insets to adapt with the bar instead.
This fixes a lot of view clipping issues that made motion transitions
non-ideal and prevented a rounded playback bar. Only remaining issue is
RecyclerView instances, which need to be further reworked to resolve
scroll issues and edge effect problems.
Leverage min heights for the playback layouts instead of the land
modifier.
This prevents an issue where some split-screen displays won't use the
correct "compact" layout.
Add a split playback UI in landscape mode.
Apparently the mere act of doing this also fixes the infurating
window inset issue I previously did either. Odd.
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.
Re-implement the queue, now leveraging a bottom sheet too.
This makes the queue much easier to open, and actually plays along with
the new transition system. I really hope this doesn't have a stupid
gotcha that ruins the UX. Please. Please. Please.
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.
Temporarily remove queue navigation, as it can no longer really fit
with the new transitions.
This will eventually be replaced with a queue bottom sheet, implying
that I can abuse one into working.
Add the ability to jump to arbitrary points in the queue.
This comes at the cost of the long-press option to move items, since
they simply cannot co-exist without visual issues.
Hack around an issue where the notification position will not update if
one seeked while the player was paused.
This is the best implementation I can do that will not result in the
notification getting excessively rate-limited.
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.
Modify ExoPlayerBackend to handle the presence of multiple vorbis tags
for a particular key.
This is allowed by the spec and heavily leveraged by programs like
Picard. It also opens the door for better artist functionality, but
that is incredibly complicated and something I don't want to implement
right now.
Lowercase music names when hashing them to prevent drift stemming from
grouping.
The addition of the song may change the case of an artist if such
mitigations are in effect. To prevent such from invalidating music
hashes, we take the lowercase of every name hashed.
Don't take the app widget host padding into account when trying to
calculate the widget sizing.
Doing such produces bad results, at least on my devices. At least, it
does now for some reason.
Make the search algorithm take in account the raw sort name and file
name when searching.
This allows the user to search for a particular song without typing in
a unicode/non-ideal title, instead typing in a latinized sort name or
suitable file name.
This does make Auxio's search a bit more fuzzy, but it still gets the
job done.
Resolves#184.
Related to #172.
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.
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.
Remove the excluded directory migration code, as it causes far more
issues than it fixes.
Due to an unfixable logic bug that occurs when trying to read the
setting, Auxio will always try to migrate the database when there is
no music folders, causing a hang in some situations. Fix it by just
removing the migration.
Hide the new quality tags option for now.
This is not because I wanted to, but rather because of me wanting to
reduce the amount of bugs I will likely be thrown due to the release
of automatic rescanning.
Add automatic rescanning, for real.
This is the culmination of 6 months of work to make Auxio respond to
music updates and to research the most versatile implementation of
such. Is it the best system? No. It's actually a bit messy by necessity
in order to prevent bugs. Does it work well? Yes.
This will not be enabled by default, as it does require a battery
draining foreground service and is generally not useful for most
circumstances.
So glad to be done with this.
Resolves#72.
Revert the optional rounded corners on the bottom sheet.
It was causing too many bugs to be a sensible addition. I will only add
it if Google moves WindowInset application to layout time AND only on
devices with the stretch overscroll implemented.
Make notification updates entirely reliant on the MediaSession.
Android 11 and onwards automatically populate the notification with the
MediaSession state. This apparently conflicts with updating the
notification in some cases, resulting in the incorrect song being
shown. Fix this by not populating the notification from Android 11
onward and only posting it when the MediaSession state was set.
Resolves#179.
Remove WindowInsetsCompat from the project, as it is a pile of garbage.
WindowInsetsCompat refuses to actually update the correct fields when
you transform it back into a WindowInsets. This makes it impossible to
use in Auxio. The fact that Google decided to make such an
overengineered wrapper to some version-specific methods is an absolute
joke. All you needed were some extension functions, but no, let's make
an entire wrapper class filled with so many gotchas as to be unusable.
Rework the rounded covers option into a new "Round Mode" option.
This commit extends the rounded corners configuration to now the
widget, thus making the setting apply now to covers, the bar, and
the widget configuration. This makes a naming change useful.
Further rework the button layout to be alike to other modern widgets.
This changeset transforms the play button into a FAB-ish thing,
makes spacing coherent between the uses of each layout, and adds
spacers to make the buttons layout in a more appealing way.
Rework the bottom sheet layout process to accomodate the new rounded
corners and be far more efficient.
This removes the weird content layout code and moves it into the inset
code, which not only allows content to show in the corners, but also
allows us to minimize the amount of layouts that we normally perform.
Override isActive to control when the ReplayGain engine should
manipulate audio.
This makes the system much more efficient, as we can side-step a
useless copy when ReplayGain shouldn't be applied.
Force LTR on timeline controls, as per the Material Design guidelines.
The guidelines state that while "directional" UIs should be LTR/RTL
depending on locale, "timeline" UIs should always by LTR, as the
direction of time is universal. Auxio did not do this, and so the
timeline controls would be RTL on other elements. Fix this by forcing
LTR on the UI elements that correspond to timelines.
Now, this is not the best system. To ensure that the rest of the layout
remains sane, much of the directional views have to be wrapped in a
redundant layout, which is somewhat in-efficient. However, the impact
seems to be at least negligable.
Rework Sort again into a new class that leverages a better Mode design
and static comparator instances.
This somewhat improves efficiency, but is also far easier to work with
and has far less footguns with adding new sorts.
Completely rework app typography.
Today I found out that inter has a tool that allowed you to generate
line spacings for a particular font size. Several hours later, I
regenerated the entirety of Auxio's typography to use this new system.
Moreso, I also tried to eliminate some of the non-standard text styles
that I was using prior. That failed. Mostly there's two edge-cases
regarding title bolding and the playback view that I simply cannot
work through right now, since M3's typography system is horribly
restrictive.
Add a new "Detail playback mode" option that allows one to configure
what selecting a song will do in an album/artist/genre.
This is mostly a clone of the prior setting, just in a new context.
Resolves#164.
Rework the preference classes to reduce the horrible bloat of the
recursivelyHandlePreference function.
This was mostly implementing new methods into IntListPreference and
adding a new preference to represent the weird, "generic" dialogs that
are used at points. While some preferences still need to be tweaked in
recursivelyHandlePreference, it is nowhere near as bad as it was prior.
Revamp the shared object SettingsManager into a standalone utility
called Settings.
This makes many things easier in Auxio. It completely unifies the key
format that we use (Android Strings instead of Java consts), eliminates
the pretty dumb initialization method that we use, and eliminates the
dubiousness of holding a Context-related utility in a global field.
The only cost was having to migrate even more ViewModels to Android
ViewModels. Whatever.
Add a shortcut to shuffle all songs.
This is likely the only static shortcut Auxio will have. Top tracks
and recently added are completely useless for me, so I will never
add them. I may add more dynamic shortcuts for recently played items,
however.
Note that we use a basic black shuffle icon here. I will not add icon
customization to these shortcuts.
Fix a visual issue with the queue animation where the playback view
will still slightly show.
This was caused by the lack of a background in the queue fragment UI.
Use ServiceCompat.stopForeground instead of stopForeground.
This is preliminary preparation for Android 13. I can only change SDK
versions however when the Android Gradle Plugin makes a new release
though.
Remove the animated indicator, replacing it with a static one.
I wish I could have kept this, but once again android is a sh******ed
mess and makes it impossible to dynamically animate something depending
on the playing state. It will restart the animation, ignore calls to
stop, or just flat out now run the code path in the first place due to
race conditions.
Introduce MenuFragment in order to replace ActionMenu.
ActionMenu was a terrible class filled with hacks. Introduce a new
fragment called MenuFragment that enables the same features, plus:
1. Requiring consumers the specify the menu, which prevents issues
from one-size-fits-all menus (unless absolutely necessary)
2. Fixing an issue where multiple menus appear at once
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.
Use basic scroll indicators when a dialog shows a list.
Mostly for material guidelines. Excluded dialogs and int pref dialog
have not been modified, as I am still working on revamping those.
Make it so that the rounded covers option is not dependent on the show
covers option.
Rounded covers has no relation to whether to show covers (at least not
anymore with the new cover style), so it makes no sense to disable it
when show covers is turned off.
Resolves#152.
Remove malformed songs that have a size of 0 bytes, but are still
present in MediaStore.
This issue only seems to occur when files are transferred via MTP, but
are not loaded due to storage issues.
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.
Rework the submitList animation to be less resource intensive and nicer
looking (at the cost of scroll positioning)
notifyDatasetChanged is slow and has no animation, but list diffing is
chaotic and basically useless outside of search. However, clearing the
adapter and then populating it with new items seems to work quite well,
albeit with the scroll position being lost sadly. Switch to that.
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 an indicator to gague the current music loading progress.
This is actually a lot harder to implement than it might seem, not only
due to UI state issues, but also due to the fact that MusicStore needs
to keep it's state sane across a myriad of possible events that could
occur while loading music. This system seems like a good stopgap until
a full service-backed implementation can be created.
Apply the notifyItemChanged fix everywhere by making it an explicit
part of the RecyclerView framework.
This way, implementing future selection and rewrite behavior will be
much easier, as the payload argument is available in every adapter
implementation.
