Remove databinding entirely.
Databinding was a terrible idea for Auxio. I rarely leveraged it, and
when I did, it produced messy code and bloated build times. Dumpster it
for just viewbinding, which is good. This reduces building times by
nearly 2/3, and generally makes the codebase more coherent and usable.
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.
Rework the playback views to follow the new idioms I want to use for
Auxio.
This change mostly consists of flattening away some of the custom
views, removing databinding, and using a general viewbinding
fragment that I hope to extend to the entire app.
Rework the playback slide up implementation to be more straightfoward.
This is really composed of stylistic improvements, very little in
actual behavior changes. This does re-introduce a regression when
nothing is playing where the scroll position will become off when
rotating, but that desynchronization happens often so unless I were
to completely migrate both the panel and the bar to a view, I don't
really see it as an issue.
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.
Create a custom view for rounded images, making them more nuanced in
the process.
The previous method for applying rounded images in-app was generally
clunky and fragile. Introduce a new custom view that actually takes a
cornerRadius attribute from the ImageView itself that then applies it
whenever the user enables the setting. This also allows rounded images
to be more nuanced, as typical 8dp elevation can be used for small
views and a more fitting 16dp radius can be used for large views.
Add a circular indicator to playback icons.
Sometimes it can be too difficult to tell apart the active and inactive
states of the shuffle/loop icons. However, there is really no good way
to improve the contrast on these icons without some kind of muddled UX
fragmentation, or god-awful design. Try to settle on the okay-est
version, which is to use colorPrimary with a dot indicator on views we
control, and use a more muddled semi-transparent icon on views we don't
control, like notifications and widgets.
Modify the music loader to use the normal artist name when using song
titles while still retaining album artist functionality.
Oftentimes music files will be tagged as to use the artist tag to
specify performers, collaborators, and others, and then use the album
artist tag to group them up into a single artist. Previously, Auxio
would only use the album artist tag, which flattened the collaborator
information out for consistency. Resolve this by implementing a sort
of "resolved artist name" for songs that is used in the UI and nowhere
else. This seems to work well, but at the same time further ruins the
API surface for handling music objects. An acceptable price to pay
for a better UX.
Add a new layout that handles the edge-case where splitscreen is used
on a sufficently small device. Previously it would result in a squashed
landscape layout, but now it will show a layout that should fit fine in
most situations.
