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.
