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.
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.
Add new shortcut utilities for collecting StateFlows in a safe manner.
The priamry addition here is collectImmediately. collectImmediately
just calls block with the existing value initially, which helps remove
a good amount of bugs regarding state initialization. Sure, it is a bit
inefficient given that it will also initialize on startup, but this is
okay.
The other utilities are the same, but simply remove the launch
boilerplate.
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.
Add a utility to easily work with lifecycle-dependent fragment objects.
This reduces the code duplication required to maintain objects that
would leak after the destruction of a fragment. We normally would not
do this as a delegate, as that usually entails some lifecycle wizardry
that can easily break and crash the app in esoteric situations.
However, this this just extends the normal lifecycle without watching
any state, it seems to be pretty safe to use.
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.
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
Make some ViewModel instances AndroidViewModels in order to make some
code less insane.
I don't like doing this, as I want to keep ViewModel instances clean of
android things, but this just makes a lot of functionality easier to
implement.
Make the home toolbar collapse on scroll.
I was planning to implement this back in 2.0.0, but visual bugs stopped
me. Now, knowing how much space the the Toolbar + Tab combination takes
up on smaller devices, I think it would be better to have this in
general.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rework the asynchronous aspects of MusicStore to rely on a more
conventional callback system.
In preparation for automatic rescanning, it would be more elegant
for music consumers to use a callback, so that updates can be
registered easier than if a co-routine continued to be used.
Convert MusicStore to this new model and rework the accesses of
MusicStore in-app to line up with this new system.
Create a ViewModel for the more complicated navigation pathways.
Normally, navigation was fragmented along a complicated stretch of
fragment hacks and DetailViewModel's navToItem attitbute, both of which
were not really that ideal. Dumpster them for a single, unified
viewmodel for the more complicated navigation situations. This removes
much of the duplicate navigation logic and is likely much more
maintainable for future situations.
Spin off the data instances into their own class called BackingData.
This is to isolate the sane adapters that rely on one type of diffing
from the insane adapters that use synchronous and asynchronous diffing
simultaniously. It also allows some of the more esoteric adapters to
implement their own backing data without much trouble or leaky
abstractions.
Completely rework the base adapter class to require less boilerplate
and properly handle cases such as diffing. The major adapters have
been migrated to this system, but the other adapters have not been
changed so far.
This is only part 1 of a multi-part rework, as this is an incredibly
complex system.
Move all fragment instances to the new ViewBindingFragment paradigm,
which should help immensely with reducing memory leaks from list
bindings and to really alleviate the overloaded onCreate functions.
Migrate to a centralized constant table for easier management.
Previously, Auxio would tie constants to the class itself, which
led to a largely disjointed system that relied on an internal table
so that it would stay sane. This commit moves all of those constants
to a single table for easier usage and management.
Completely refactor the Sort class to be more efficient and
straightforward.
The original Sort class had *major* shortcomings, it was slow,
poorly organized, and relied on abusing compareBy to implement
special things like article sort. This rework eliminates all of
that in favor of a new system relying on custom comparators and
chaining to achieve something much faster and maintainable.
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.
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.
Expose a custom MediaButtonReceiver that handles the media button
intent. This is not because I wanted to implement this. Some apps
like gadgetbridge just blindly query ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON instead of
relying on the more modern MediaController API, which I expected
most apps would use instead.
Resolves#62.
Dumpster Inter in favor of Roboto. This is mostly for three reasons:
1. Reduces the insane typography setup that Auxio uses
2. Reduces total app size since .ttf files are pretty large and the
dynamic fonts feature was proprietary.
3. Creates a more cohesive look and feel given that nearly every
android app also uses Roboto.
Make it so that the keyboard is only opened on the search view when
it's initially created instead of when it's loaded from the
backstack. This is just nice for overall UX.
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
The way Material3 uses an initial light accent seeds is...odd. It more
closely resembles deep purple [darker on light mode, lighter on dark
mode] in behavior. Therefore we simply rename the light accents to
this. This does mess up translations a lot, but I'll fix it when I
update the rest of the translations.
Refactor the way music models are constructed to achieve the following:
- Add a unified interface for resolving display names of artists
- Disambiguate the role of Header in the music objects
- Eliminate the need to load strings in with a context when creating
Header instances
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.
Add edge-to-edge on the Home, Detail, and Search fragments. This
solution is not ideal at all, relying on viewModel state to make
sure that the padding is only applied when the playback bar is not
present. However, it works. I'll likely replace it with a better
layout once I can figure out how similar layouts like Material
Files' PersistentBarLyout work.
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.
Completely refactor the detail module. This is for a few reasons:
- Prevent data regeneration every time a fragment re-creates.
- Make DetailModel follow the customs of other ViewModels.
- Simplify layouts into a single detail item to reduce code
complexity.
Currently sorting doesn't work, but that is still being worked out
as the legacy SortMode continues to be phased out of Auxio.
Drop the Bridge theme and completely migrate to material. This is for
two reasons:
- To make Material You less painful
- Improve coloring [Dark mode, other colors, etc].
Most of the previous UI elements were kept [no rounded corners], but
did come at the cost of removing the hint tagline from the search bar
since there was simply no good way to integrate it. There are also
some other miscellanious issues [Weird selection menus, dividers are
not migrated still], but those will be fixed in future commits.
