Add a 1x3/1x4 widget that displays the cover and controls
Also requires another widget type that just displays controls to
accomodate landscape devices.
Resolves#420.
This setting allows you to remain playing/paused when you move in the
queue or edit the queue. Useful for some people who like this behavior
more than always playing.
Resolves#568.
Use PlaySong modeling within settings too. This largely completes the
PlaySong refactor and fully adds the ability to play songs by
themselves as an option.
Resolves#424.
Add an option to restore the old 1:1 crop behavior to the app.
Some people think this looks better, some people like to have youtube
thumbnails in their APICs. Can't really be opinionated here.
Do not transfer the cache db between devices, drop it instead.
This is at best useless (timestamps and ids will be invalid) and at
worst actively detrimental (timestamps and ids are similar), so
better to reindex than try to read from the cache.
Resolves#467.
Make the numeric sort name handling added prior dependent on a new
"Intelligent Sorting" setting that also controls the article checks.
This kind of behavior might not be desirable in all cases, and it makes
the setting more consistent anyway.
Add a setting to remove hard-coded sort names based on articles.
This feature is nice, but does not work with some non-english music.
Those individuals should have the ability to disable it.
The implementation honestly is not the greatest, primarily because it
does a 100% reload when it could just regenerate the library. Auxio's
current music model isn't really designed for that, so it will do this
until a need to that kind of "soft reload" really arises.
Resolves#359.
Manually use our own navigation graph in the new settings view.
This avoids a crash that occurs with the default preferences navigation
(on some devices) where the differing app IDs between debug and release
makes it so that the fragments cannot be found. Because you know.
Android.
Switch to item decorations to manage header dividers.
This is much more reliable than encoding it in-data. Only cost comes in
that it forces me to backport yet another component since I still can't
update MDC after over half a year.
Redesign the header component to be more aligned with M3 guidelines.
This includes moving the divider to the top when reasonable, using a
smaller font size, and using a tinted coloration to separate itself
from the list contents.
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.
Switch back to using settings-specific listeners rather than the
SharedPreference listener.
Again, this is due to the need to decouple android code from settings.
It also allows us to fully obscure the details of what settings we are
actually working with.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
Fix lints that have accumulated over time.
Apparently Android Studio just...stopped using lints. For no reason. I
had to upgrade to the beta version to actually get lints.
Fix two issues where Auxio's widget could not be resized to a single
cell, and another where covers would not load into the widget.
The first is caused by a random, subtle change that completely changed
up the minHeight size calculation regarding widgets. Thus, we need to
lower it for android to recognize it still as 1 cell. I cannot believe
we can't just specify the specific minimum grid size that our widget
takes up, like you know, iOS did, nearly a decade after widgets were
first added in Android.
The second is an absurd race condition stemming from me hitting the
RemoteViews memory limit. Turns out my cover bitmaps were simply too
big. Getting them below the limit requires me to resize them to a puny
~500 pixels. Why can't we just render our own views into our widget?
You know, like iOS did, nearly a decade after widgets were first added
to Android.
Nah, screw modernizing the broken widget API. Let's just vaguely copy
iOS widgets because we have to while not fixing a single issue plaguing
widget development on this OS. That way some google engineer can get
promoted faster.
Add an option to clear the currently saved playback state.
This does not clear playback entirely, but rather remove the saved
state so that it's not restored on the next startup. This is generally
the cleanest solution compared to allowing state restore to be toggled,
which opens up a bunch of race conditions.
Resolves#107.
Update MDC to the alpha version in order to use some extra features.
I was planning to switch to the new MaterialSwitch, but alpha03 has
this insane crippling issue with ripples that blocks such. Use alpha02
and prep the app for the addition of the switch.
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.
