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.
Completely rework the way Auxio handles icons.
This is mostly two changes:
1. Removing ImageButton/StyledImageButton for MaterialButton. This is
done by abusing MaterialButton's theming options to make it only show
an icon.
2. Standardizing icon sizes into small, medium, and large categories.
Small is the default, Medium and Large are for edge-cases like the
playback icons which look horrible at 24dp.
3. Abusing the Toolbar to make it follow Material 3 guidelines. This
mostly involved removing the strange icon sizing and correctly padding
the view.
4. Reworking the playback bar to use more, smaller icons, making it
more like a Toolbar in the process (which I like).
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.
Rework the style of all album covers in the app to be more in line with
the new track number style.
This is mostly comprised of adding a new background to all cover views
and rescaling error icons to be smaller than they would normally be.
This also includes a change in the cover/track background color from
colorSurfaceVariant to colorOnSurfaceInverse, which seems to provide
the best visibility in all cases.
These changes also apply to the track number views.
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.
Use Slider and FloatingActionbutton in the playback view. This is not
because I wanted to, but because there were insane bugs on Lollipop
devices that stemmed from them being unable to load complex selector
resources.
Update the app icon to reflect the new accents. Also move around some
things to make it easier to add dynamic colors later on. Don't make it
follow dynamic colors right now however, as I want to make sure it
lines up with the dynamic pixel icons before I make that change.
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.
Fix a plethora of style issues that lead to a worse touch experience.
I tried to optimize these solutions so that they didn't reduce the layout
density too much. More updates may have to be made in the future.
Do two things to the margin and padding system:
- Remove the redundant padding/margin dimens and replace it with a unified "spacing" dimen namespace
- Make most margin and padding dimens follow the divisible-by-8 rule in material design
