Leverage min heights for the playback layouts instead of the land
modifier.
This prevents an issue where some split-screen displays won't use the
correct "compact" layout.
Add a split playback UI in landscape mode.
Apparently the mere act of doing this also fixes the infurating
window inset issue I previously did either. Odd.
Remove useless id fields from Headers, replacing them with vlaues
related to their string resource.
String resources and disc numbers are more or less garunteed to be
unique in Auxio's context.
Use BottomSheetBehavior with the playback sheet.
This is the result of two weeks of painful hacking to get a working
implementation that did not immediately have a brain aneursym. It
also requires me to still vendor BottomSheetBehavior for the time
being. However, this greatly reduces technical issues on my end and
allows the addition of new playback UI concepts, while still
retaining the UI fluidity of prior.
Add a new Date class to represent both years and more fine-grained
dates extracted using the ExoPlayer metadata system.
In-app, the year is still shown, but sorting will use the new precision
when present. The MediaSession will also post an RFC 3339 formatted
date with this new precision, as the MediaSession documentation states
I should. No clue if the latter will cause any bugs with naive metadata
UIs in other apps.
Resolves#159.
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.
Remove the excluded directory migration code, as it causes far more
issues than it fixes.
Due to an unfixable logic bug that occurs when trying to read the
setting, Auxio will always try to migrate the database when there is
no music folders, causing a hang in some situations. Fix it by just
removing the migration.
Add an abstraction over the generation system called GenerationGuard.
This allows cheap cooperative threading to be implemented consistently
in many places.
Audit usages of Synchronized throughout the app to prevent deadlocks.
This is primarily composed of not making long-running work
synchronized, instead only making mutations and reads synchronized.
This does cause minor issues, such as during a sanitization event
the playback state could be feasibly saved, changed, and then restored
back to the previous state unintentionally. However, preventing
deadlocks is generally better than trying to fix those.
Use the @Synchronized annotation instead of synchronized.
Makes my ability to manage thread-safety on the shared objects much
easier. Because I don't have to think about what I should guard
and what I shouldn't.
Finally enable runtime rescanning, opening the door for a ton of new
features and automatic rescanning later on.
More work needs to be done on making the shared mutable state in-app
safer to use.
Remove WindowInsetsCompat from the project, as it is a pile of garbage.
WindowInsetsCompat refuses to actually update the correct fields when
you transform it back into a WindowInsets. This makes it impossible to
use in Auxio. The fact that Google decided to make such an
overengineered wrapper to some version-specific methods is an absolute
joke. All you needed were some extension functions, but no, let's make
an entire wrapper class filled with so many gotchas as to be unusable.
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.
Rework Sort again into a new class that leverages a better Mode design
and static comparator instances.
This somewhat improves efficiency, but is also far easier to work with
and has far less footguns with adding new sorts.
Add new shortcut utilities for collecting StateFlows in a safe manner.
The priamry addition here is collectImmediately. collectImmediately
just calls block with the existing value initially, which helps remove
a good amount of bugs regarding state initialization. Sure, it is a bit
inefficient given that it will also initialize on startup, but this is
okay.
The other utilities are the same, but simply remove the launch
boilerplate.
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.
Add a utility to easily work with lifecycle-dependent fragment objects.
This reduces the code duplication required to maintain objects that
would leak after the destruction of a fragment. We normally would not
do this as a delegate, as that usually entails some lifecycle wizardry
that can easily break and crash the app in esoteric situations.
However, this this just extends the normal lifecycle without watching
any state, it seems to be pretty safe to use.
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.
Remove the animated indicator, replacing it with a static one.
I wish I could have kept this, but once again android is a sh******ed
mess and makes it impossible to dynamically animate something depending
on the playing state. It will restart the animation, ignore calls to
stop, or just flat out now run the code path in the first place due to
race conditions.
Switch the excluded directory system to StorageVolume.
This finally removes dependence on the in-house Volume constructs, and
also completely extends fully music folder selection support to all
versions that Auxio supports.
This is possibly one of the most invasive and risky reworks I have done
with Auxio's music loader, but it's also somewhat exciting, as no other
music player I know of handles Volumes like I do.
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.
Make some ViewModel instances AndroidViewModels in order to make some
code less insane.
I don't like doing this, as I want to keep ViewModel instances clean of
android things, but this just makes a lot of functionality easier to
implement.
Supply a view to WindowInsetsCompat.toWindowInsetsCompat through all
calls in the app.
This does nothing, but it would resolve future bugs if I were to use
the most exotic window inset types.
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.
Use androidx compat tools when setting up edge-to-edge and applying
window insets.
This is mostly a readability tweak ahead of making edge-to-edge a
setting.
Add a dedicated service towards the loading of the music library.
This new service was created for two reasons:
1. Music loading is slow and resource-intensive, so putting it on the
ViewModel layer just didn't seem right and made it vulnerable to the
OS simply stopping the loading process.
2. For automatic rescanning [#72], there must be something watching
the music library and waiting for a change in the background. This
would require a service as that is probably the least insane way to
do that kind of background work.
I have no garuntees how viable the service might be. If anything, it
might be halted by some insane android restriction or issue that
makes it more or less impossible to use for most apps, and I will have
to largely drop truly automatic rescanning.
Apply the notifyItemChanged fix everywhere by making it an explicit
part of the RecyclerView framework.
This way, implementing future selection and rewrite behavior will be
much easier, as the payload argument is available in every adapter
implementation.
Fix two major highlighting bugs based around the janky and stupid way
I would handle highlighting previously.
Previously, I would index the views of a RecyclerView in order to
highlight viewholders. In retrospect this was a pretty bad idea,
as viewholders could be in a weird limbo state where they are bound,
but not accessible. I mean, it's in the name. It's a Recycling View.
Fortunately, google actually knew what they were doing and provided
a way to mutate viewholders at runtime using notifyItemChanged.
And the API actually makes sense! Wow! Migrate all detail adapters
to a system that uses notifyItemChanged instead of the terrible
pre-existing system.
Further refine the Indexer and ExoPlayerBackend implementations.
These fixes were primarily focused on ensuring stable grouping through
stable sorting order, and more graceful handling of edge cases in
ExoPlayerBackend.
Switch from LiveData to StateFlow.
While LiveData is a pretty good data storage/observer mechanism, it has
a few flaws:
- Values are always nullable in LiveData, even if you make them
non-null.
- LiveData can only be mutated on Dispatchers.Main, which frustrates
possible additions like a more fine-grained music status system.
- LiveData's perks are exclusive to ViewModels, which made coupling
with shared objects somewhat cumbersome.
StateFlow solves all of these by being a native coroutine solution with
proper android bindings. Use it instead.
Add an ExoPlayer-based metadata backend.
This backend finally allows Auxio to parse metadata internally, which
has been a highly requested feature given how many unfixable MediaStore
issues it would fix.
However, this is not fully ready for production yet. The loading
process becomes much larger with manual parsing, the current
implementation still allocates picture metadata (terrible for
efficiency), and there is no good indicator in the app to keep
track of music loading.
As a result, this backend is disabled until it can be fully integrated
into Auxio's architecture.
Revert the introduction of the thin/tiny widgets, but keep the new
cover layout I created while working on them.
There is simply no way I can cram controls and metadata within the
size bucket that the thin widget occupies. I have decided to give up
and revert the widget to it's old form.
I understand why the thin widget is not appealing. However, the sizing
at which a widget can properly accomodate a taller widget is just too
precise and not really large enough to justify it's existance.
Also use the gesture insets on playback panel.
Turns out when the panel uses normal insets, the playback panel is
extremely close to the system bars. Fix this by using the bigger
gesture insets.
Resolves#137.
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%.
Do some miscellanious formatting reworks.
1. Remove all instances of m in favor of _. _ is only used when names
collide or if something should be internal.
2. Make fragments apply their own click listeners.
3. Remove instances of inc/dec and replace them with the more
straightfoward + 1 or - 1.
