Make sorting direction (ascending/descending) explicit in the UI and in
the code.
Instead of a boolean flag, two distinct "ascending" and "descending"
options are used instead. This should be much clearer.
Split up the settings ui into four categories.
This should reduce the visual load on the user as Auxio continues to
accrue possible configuration options.
Resolves#323.
Add the ability to play or shuffle a selection.
This finally allows "arbitrary" playback to be created from any
combination of songs/albums/artist/genres, rather than just from
pre-defined options.
Resolves#313.
Redocument the detail, home, image, and list modules.
Much of this project's documentation has drifted from actual
functionality, and newer code is pretty sparely documented.
This commit seeks to rectify that by redocumenting every source
file in this project.
Implement actions for selections in the home view.
Play selected and shuffle selected have been removed for now until the
queue can be properly reworked
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.
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.
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.
Re-add the song menu option to the title section of the playback view.
This is again, due to the addition of the equalizer button, but also to
make this menu easier to reach.
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.
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 a "Last Added" sorting option to the home UI's song list.
I don't know if there is any demand for last added in other contexts.
That will be resolved later.
Update the library update process to be on a co-routine, updating
callbacks on the main thread.
For some insane reason, the Main dispatcher used normally when
loading music just disappears sometimes. This leads to unpleasent
crashes as callbacks expect to be called on the app thread, not
any background threads.
Fix this by forcing the Main dispatcher during the update process.
This requires the music update process to also run on a background
thread, albeit that will be useful for automatic rescanning late ron.
Completely rework Auxio's iconography based on the new material symbols
icon set.
This does the following:
1. Switches the sharp + filled icon style to an outlined + round icon
style.
2. Removes 32dp icons from everywhere except the playback panel.
This does not:
1. Actually handle optical sizes right. This is going to take some more
work to make it harmonious with the current UI.
2. Update margins in some places to be harmonious with the new icons.
This is also going to take some more work to do properly.
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
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.
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.
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.
Switch auxio to a single-queue system. "Play next" adds songs to the top
of the queue, similar to before, and then "Add to queue" adds songs to
the bottom of the queue. This enables many more enhancements to be made
to the playback experience, at the cost of a feature I preferred.
Resolves#44.
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.
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
Mostly migrate to Material 3/Material You.
- Auxio should now follow dynamic colors on Android 12
- Accents have been regenerated to align with the new color roles
- Some colors have been tweaked here and there to line up with the
new design system
- Dialogs were not fully migrated, but that's because Material3 dialogs
look god-awful.
- Accent class was reworked to take up less memory
Now that this is out of the way, I can focus on other UI things before
the release of 2.0.0.
Do a couple of UI changes I thought of over this week:
- Make the detail header text neutral, mostly so I can make it so that
the accent only corresponds to active thingsd
- Remove the vanity elevation from the cover images. This is mostly to
abide by Material Design.
- Move the about screen to it's own menu slot on the main fragment.
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.
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.
Brighten the dark theme somewhat. This is for two reasons:
- To make colorOnSurface stick out less like a sore thumb
- To be more in line with other material apps
- To make the dark theme differ from the black theme more
Black theme remains unchanged, so if one wants a much darker theme,
then they can use that.
Merge LibraryFragment, SongsFragment, and others into a new fragment
called HomeFragment. This is the beginning of the Auxio UI overhaul.
This has caused some regressions here and there, but these will be
rectified over time.
