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superceded by better options (clear state).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.
Rework the rounded covers option into a new "Round Mode" option.
This commit extends the rounded corners configuration to now the
widget, thus making the setting apply now to covers, the bar, and
the widget configuration. This makes a naming change useful.
Further rework the button layout to be alike to other modern widgets.
This changeset transforms the play button into a FAB-ish thing,
makes spacing coherent between the uses of each layout, and adds
spacers to make the buttons layout in a more appealing way.
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.
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.
Rework the preference classes to reduce the horrible bloat of the
recursivelyHandlePreference function.
This was mostly implementing new methods into IntListPreference and
adding a new preference to represent the weird, "generic" dialogs that
are used at points. While some preferences still need to be tweaked in
recursivelyHandlePreference, it is nowhere near as bad as it was prior.
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.
Leverage StorageVolume when working with file paths.
StorageVolume is android's navive API for handling external volumes.
Ideally, we would want to replace our built-in volume class with this
new API, however doing so is somewhat complicated as some methods only
exist on newer API levels. This is only the first step until we are
able to migrate the excluded directory system to this as well.
Completely rework the excluded directory system into a new
"Music Folders" system.
This is implemented alongside a new "Include" mode. This mode
allows the user to restrict music indexing to a parsicular folder.
I've been reluctant to add this feature, as having two separate
options seemed bad. This resolves it by effectively packing whether
to include/exclude directories into a single option.
Resolves#154.
Make it so that the rounded covers option is not dependent on the show
covers option.
Rounded covers has no relation to whether to show covers (at least not
anymore with the new cover style), so it makes no sense to disable it
when show covers is turned off.
Resolves#152.
Add a toggle for edge-to-edge mode.
Normally we would want to enable edge-to-edge by default (in fact, we
still do). However, some phones (once again, samsung) don't provide
Auxio with actual window insets. As a result, we need to add a toggle
so that it can be disabled on busted devices.
Did you know that even when Auxio has it's edge-to-edge functionality
busted, Samsung Music works just fine? Very interesting.
Resolves#149.
Re-add accent customization on Android 12 and above.
Previously, I disabled accent customization since I thought they were
more or less useless with the new Material You dynamic colors system.
Turns out I severely underestimated how horribly OEMs would botch the
dynamic colors system. Guess I was blinded by my adherence to the pixel
line. Re-add the accent customization for those who do not have a good
dynamic color palette at all.
Resolves#131.
Hack around more insane lollipop bugs, such as:
- The angular auxio icon crashing the system UI
- Optimized icons being corrupted
- Setting image alpha not working properly
I really wish I could drop support for this horrible version, but I
either have to wait for a major library to drop support or for the
usage numbers to reach 1%.
Implement a UI frontend for customizing the ReplayGain pre-amp value.
This finally completes Auxio's ReplayGain implementation. Not only
that, it also shows how Auxio can use positive ReplayGain values,
unlike other apps.
As a side-note, this also fiddles with the dialog style somewhat.
I got carried away.
Resolves#114.
Rename LoopMode to RepeatMode, which is generally much clearer
than the previous name.
This changes all non-breaking instances of "loop" in the app with
"repeat".
Rework audio focus to rely on the native ExoPlayer implementation
instead of a custom implementation.
Previously, we avoided ExoPlayer's AudioFocus system as it never
played after a transient lost. A few versions later now through,
now it does, so we may as well switch to it. This does introduce
a bug where ReplayGain functionality will conflict with audio
focus, but I hope to eliminate this with #115 as I switch to
an AudioProcessor instead of a callback.
Turn the headset focus setting into the headset autoplay setting.
The way auxio handles headsets is...odd. Sometimes the MediaSession
handles it and Auxio could not care less, and sometimes Auxio actually
needs to handle it. As a result, the idea of being able to disable
headset focus is more or less moot because it will only apply to some
devices and not others.
On the other end, the way Auxio automatically begins playback once a
headset is plugged in is also quite weird. It only works on wired
headsets, and when it does, it overrides all other apps that might
also be playing audio. It's not to say that it's a bad feature, but
it's also one that I don't want to make the defualt. Auxio should
still play along within the confines of Android's expectations, after
all.
Replacing the existing "Headset focus" setting with a new "Headset
autoplay" setting solves both of these issues, as it prevents a
mis-guided disabling of the setting that doesn't actually disable
the feature and it relegates the quirky autoplay behavior to an
setting not enabled by default.
Disable the ability to customize audio focus on Android 12 and up.
Android 12 automatically regulates audio streams even further than it
did in previous versions, to the point where the audio focus setting
no longer makes sense on that version. I may extend the removal to all
versions in the future.
Add an option to force-reload the app.
Currently, Auxio will load music once and then never re-load it. This
is a really decision I made early on and now regret completely. The
only way to remedy this properly is to create an automatic rescanning
system, but that is a major technical undertaking that I want to save
for later.
Resolves#71.
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.
Implement a facimile of the new Material 3/You switches in the settings
menu. There's no defined spec for this yet, so I just shamelessly ripped
the implementation from Doodle.
Add an option to round album covers for people who might want more
visual cohesion with apps that have completely drunken the "Round
Everything!" kool-aid. Covers will still be hard-edged by default.
