Switch auxio to a single-queue system. "Play next" adds songs to the top
of the queue, similar to before, and then "Add to queue" adds songs to
the bottom of the queue. This enables many more enhancements to be made
to the playback experience, at the cost of a feature I preferred.
Resolves#44.
Split screen layouts in android are completely borked. You can
resize Auxio down to the point where the UI is completely
unusable, and there is NO WAY TO SET A MINIMUM HEIGHT. This is
also not to mention that smallestScreenWidthDp is completely
busted too and still uses the size of the whole screen! Just
band-aid the first issue so that when the layout becomes so
small as to result in a messed up UI, just show a splash that
says that the app can't work at the specific window size.
Re-add the ability for content to fade out as the playback or queue
view slides up. This also migrates the queue slide animation to also
fade out content, which allows for the stylistic cohesion I desire.
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.
Refactor sorting again to support free-floating ascending/descending
values on every single sort mode. This enables greater freedom in how
users can sort their music and allows me to finally get rid of the
old legacy sematic sorting modes that chose their ascending/decending
order depending on how they wanted it.
The way Material3 uses an initial light accent seeds is...odd. It more
closely resembles deep purple [darker on light mode, lighter on dark
mode] in behavior. Therefore we simply rename the light accents to
this. This does mess up translations a lot, but I'll fix it when I
update the rest of the translations.
Simplify the accent scheme:
- Light Blue was re-generated to be a weird darker-on-light-mode
lighter-on-dark-mode blue that looked really similar to how blue-grey
turned out. These have been merged into a new color scheme called
deep blue.
- Deep Orange and Red were too similar after being re-generated, so
they have been merged to become a simple red accent.
Refactor the way music models are constructed to achieve the following:
- Add a unified interface for resolving display names of artists
- Disambiguate the role of Header in the music objects
- Eliminate the need to load strings in with a context when creating
Header instances
Instead of having a play/pause header at the top of the song list, use
a FAB instead. This allows people to shuffle all of their songs even if
the songs tab isn't enabled, and it can be tranformed into a create FAB
when playlists are added.
Finally add tab customization. This implementation is a
bit ugly, but I had to futureproof it for playlists and I'm
planning to clean up a lot of the duplicate code across the app.
This addition notably allows a default tab to be set, which is
something that was widely requested in #12. This UI rework finally
allows it to be added.
Improve the queue UI some more:
- Fixed an issue where clearing the user queue by clearing all items would
result in it bugging out
- Queue items now show a Material-y background when they are swiped
away. This was way harder than you might think it was.
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.
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.
Re-add sorting to HomeFragment, except heavily improved. The major
improvement here is the addition of song sorting, which was a heavily
requested feature judging by #16. The setting does not save yet and
is not present in the detail fragments, but it is still a major
milestone for the new home ui.
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.
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.
Modify the minimal wdiget so that it can work on Android 11 and below.
Was not actually that hard, mostly changing layouts around all things
considered. This also splits up the default view and the main widget
views, which makes managing UI state much easier.
Add the first widget implementation, the minimal widget. This took a
good 2 days of hacking and frustration to get the first prototype
working. And even then, its currently scoped to android 12 until I'm
able to port them. The implementation is still quite rough, but should
become manageable over time. More widgets will come.
Add a new option to pause playback whenever a song loops [e.g while in
LoopMode.TRACK]. This does mean that we can no longer use exoplayer's
native looping system, but it doesn't seem to be that much of an issue.
Resolves#29.
Finally add black theme support to Auxio. This is abit of a janky
implementation since I had to add an extra set of accents, but it
shouldn't be as big of a problem after the styles refactoring.
Support for black android components is not implemented yet, but
will be eventually.
Completely redesign the about UI to remove its dependency on
bottomsheetdialogfragment. That object is such a hassle to deal with an
is the epitome of everything wrong with this horrible platform. This
design will enable further about extensions in the future.
Change the loop behavior to something that is actually sensible,
with [ ] looping the whole playlist and [ 1 ] looping the song.
This also removes the "Do on end" setting. A new stop option may
be reintroduced, however.
This resolves issue #13.
Update the structure of the settings system to do several things:
- Finally use int preferences everywhere instead of the mix of strings & ints from before
- Create a new preference named `IntListPreference` that enables the use of integers in list preferences
- Actually centralize array values and default values into a single integers xml
- Isolate all the new migration code into a single file
- Refreshed the int tables used by data objects [DB version has been updated, will not update when other changes]
The only preference not migrated is doAtEnd since that is being planned to be retired in a future LoopMode update.
Completely refactor the blacklist dialog to not only use the Storage Access Framework, but also to completely eliminate the material dialogs dependency.
Collapse amber and yellow into a single accent [Yellow], remove the neutral accent due to UI isuses, and darken light-mode accents across the board to be more visible.
Add some [Likely broken] german translations using a mix of other sources, my own knowledge, and a english-deutsch dictionary. Ill try to improve these as I go along as theyre the only ones that I'm really able to translate.
Move the ability to search for songs to SongsFragment for better consistency. May switch to a dedicated search tab in the future but I generally like how this looks.
