Make a dedicated seekbar view so that does the layout magic necessary
to have an adequate touch target while not taking up too much space.
Isolating this makes handling the playback layout's view much easier.
Do a couple of UI changes I thought of over this week:
- Make the detail header text neutral, mostly so I can make it so that
the accent only corresponds to active thingsd
- Remove the vanity elevation from the cover images. This is mostly to
abide by Material Design.
- Move the about screen to it's own menu slot on the main fragment.
Make the seekbar more touchable by increasing it's height. This should
have no measurable impact since I did some layout black magic and made
the rest of the layout slightly inset into the SeekBar's bounds. This
is not a nice solution. Hopefully I'll be able to make a dedicated view
with a Seeker with the same insetting things later on.
Give up and add more material elements such as neutral toolbar colors
and rounded corners. This is largely for stylistic cohesion. I will
keep rounded corners to a minimum though, rounding album covers is a
crime against humanitity.
Refactor the styling again to make all styles start with the Auxio
prefix. Also try to phase out the usage of layout_width and
layout_height in most places, since those can cause a lot of
frustration if they aren't used in the layout they are expected in.
Completely refactor the detail module. This is for a few reasons:
- Prevent data regeneration every time a fragment re-creates.
- Make DetailModel follow the customs of other ViewModels.
- Simplify layouts into a single detail item to reduce code
complexity.
Currently sorting doesn't work, but that is still being worked out
as the legacy SortMode continues to be phased out of Auxio.
Drop the Bridge theme and completely migrate to material. This is for
two reasons:
- To make Material You less painful
- Improve coloring [Dark mode, other colors, etc].
Most of the previous UI elements were kept [no rounded corners], but
did come at the cost of removing the hint tagline from the search bar
since there was simply no good way to integrate it. There are also
some other miscellanious issues [Weird selection menus, dividers are
not migrated still], but those will be fixed in future commits.
Make playback/about UIs follow the new liftOnScroll and edge-to-edge
idioms. This finally allows me to collapse a lot of duplicate code
into MainActivity and in general reduce code mess.
Merge LibraryFragment, SongsFragment, and others into a new fragment
called HomeFragment. This is the beginning of the Auxio UI overhaul.
This has caused some regressions here and there, but these will be
rectified over time.
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.
Tweak some dimens so that they line up with the 8dp grid. This doesn't
apply to all of them since some of them are fined-tuned [such as the
fast-scroller]. The latter would likely be migrated in the later UI
overhaul.
Redesign the loading UI to be in line with the rest of Auxio and the
upcoming Android 12 splash screen [sort of]. This also updates the
header and button designs so that the layout heirarchy is better/more
information dense.
Fix an issue in the responsive layout backport where padding was not
factored into the calculations. This was the original issue that I
thought I fixed in e81d4b6d, but this fix seems to work alot better
from the launchers I tested [Trebuchet/Launcher3, Lawnchair].
Refactor styles again, this time trying to seperate the more
layout-specific attributes so that layouts become more re-usable.
This also updates the naming conventions of styles.
The plans for widgets have changed somewhat. Instead of 4 or so
variants, there will instead be one unified widget that chooses
different layouts depending on its size. The first one added is the
full widget, which shows more controls as long as theres enough
space.
Improve the black theme selection color by merging it with the dark
theme selection coler. This makes the selection color both more
noticable and reduces the style complexity that came from having to
manage two different selection colors.
