Features

Aves can handle all sorts of images and videos, including your typical JPEGs and MP4s, but also more exotic things like multi-page TIFFs, SVGs, old AVIs and more!

It scans your media collection to identify motion photos, panoramas (aka photo spheres), 360° videos, as well as GeoTIFF files.

Navigation and search is an important part of Aves. The goal is for users to easily flow from albums to photos to tags to maps, etc.

Aves integrates with Android (including Android TV) with features such as widgets, app shortcuts, screen saver and global search handling. It also works as a media viewer and picker.

Permissions

Aves requires a few permissions to do its job:

• read contents of shared storage: the app only accesses media files, and modifying them requires explicit access grants from the user,
• read locations from media collection: necessary to display the media coordinates, and to group them by country (via reverse geocoding),
• have network access: necessary for the map view, and most likely for precise reverse geocoding too,
• view network connections: checking for connection states allows Aves to gracefully degrade features that depend on internet.

Project Setup

Install dependencies

Before running or building the app, update the dependencies for the desired flavor:

scripts/apply_flavor_play.sh

To build the project, create a file named <app dir>/android/key.properties. It should contain a reference to a keystore for app signing, and other necessary credentials. See key_template.properties for the expected keys.

To run the app:

./flutterw run -t lib/main_play.dart --flavor play

To build the app:

creare file con le tue credenziali file.keystore

dove YOUR_ALIAS_NAME è il tuo unico alias name

e YOUR_ALIAS_PWD è la password del tuo alias

keytool -genkey -v -keystore file.keystore -alias YOUR_ALIAS_NAME -storepass YOUR_ALIAS_PWD -keypass YOUR_ALIAS_PWD -keyalg RSA -validity 36500

in questo caso ho inserito

cd android
keytool -genkey -v -keystore file.keystore -alias FabioMich66 -storepass Master66 -keypass Master66 -keyalg RSA -validity 36500

se non puoi eseguire keytool perchè non è nel path di sistema cercalo usando

cd /
sudo find -name keytool

compilare il file <app dir>/android/key.properties

nano android/key.properties

questi i miei dati utilizzando il format key_template.properties

storeFile=/Users/fabio/flutter_apps/aves/android/file.keystore
storePassword=Master66
keyAlias=FabioMich66
keyPassword=Master66
googleApiKey=<GOOGLE_API_KEY>

infine compilare l'apk

./flutterw build apk -t lib/main_play.dart --flavor play

Android studio

caricare il file da github selezionando le mnù a tendina File-New-project from Version Control

selezionare version control tipo: git

inserire URL di aves

  https://github.com/deckerst/aves

flaggare shallow clone with history troncated 1 commits

aprire la console sulla dir aves appena creata e caricare le dipendenze

scripts/apply_flavor_izzy.sh

in settings - Languages and Framework - Dart inserire il path

/home/fabio/flutter/bin/cache/

e spuntare project aves

Edit configurations e aggiungere shell script con un nome x es izzi

poi flaggare script text e inserire

  ./flutterw run -t lib/main_izzy.dart --flavor izzy

la working directory sarà una cosa così

  /home/fabio/StudioProjects/aves
