3.0 WIP 22: Tag Editor

Its been a few weeks since I've posted anything so I thought I would do a quick update on the current progress.  Up until last week, I had made pretty good progress on the tag editor and file deletion, but i was waiting on google to release a stable version of some of their libraries.  They finally did that so I spent the last week upgrading 3.0 to use androidx/jetpack.  The only issue i am seeing so far is a fairly large left hand margin in the preference screen, but i will worry about fixing that later.

Most of the code for the tag editor and file deletion are already written, I just need to put all that code into jobs for the new WorkManager google introduced.

Here is the basic layout of the tag editor (still needs tweaking):

One other thing to note is i made some backend changes to the tagging code to support writing to the composer and lyrics tags, so I do plan on adding that to the UI sometime soon.

Realistically I think Alpha 5 should be ready in about 2 weeks. 

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 4

Not too much in this update due to a few factors.  I am going on vacation next week so I wanted to get what I had out there, and secondly my plan for the deleting playlist / file / folders capability uses something new from google that is still in alpha and would require me to upgrade pretty much all the android support libraries.  Android studio 3.2 has a built in option to auto convert to use their new jetpack components, however 3.2 is still a RC and I wasnt able to upgrade from 3.1 in an easy enough fashion to make it worth my time.

Deleting things in GMMP involves more than simply removing the file.  The database has to be cleaned up and the queue order / positioning needs to be adjusted to account for any removed files.  Since I did not want the user to have to sit there and wait with a spinner in front of the UI while all this happened, I plan on leveraging a new library from google called the WorkManager.  Delete jobs would be created and set off to the work manager to get done in the background.  Tag editing is also another thing that can be time consuming so I also planned on doing the same for that.  This will make mass deletions or mass tag edits much more user friendly.

I am expecting all the tools / libraries to be final in the next few weeks so that should make those features doable for alpha 5

Alpha 4 is mostly on search enhancements and a few bug fixes.

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Alpha 3

Alpha 3 finally addresses one of the big missing features by adding a new search ui.  It is not 100% complete, but the majority of the functionality is there.  You now can search for artists, albumartists, albums, genres, and songs.  Alpha 4 will contain a few additions like searching folders, files, playlists, and bookmarks.  Similar to the 2.x, a live search (limited results) is executed as you type and clicking the search button will return the full result list.  As of right now the live search is limited to 5 results per category but there will probably be an option for that later on.  From the result list you can jump into any specific result to bring up their detailed ui, or play a song from the song list.

Search is also now accessibly via the search button in now playing and the library view (it is no longer in the side navigation like in 2.x).  I plan to also add it to the browser, playlist, and bookmark views once those searches are added.

In this update I also made some changes to the detail views.  They all now contain the mini player at the bottom.  The genre view also has an additional tab for album artists.

2.2.10

I was able to finally track down one of the reasons why GMMP would not appear as a default music player in a lot of file managers, so that should no longer be an issue.

There wont be any development done this week because of the holidays but i will start back up on Alpha 3 next monday. The crash logs for 2a have been pretty good so i dont see the need to rush out any quick fixes

2.2.10 (07/02/2018):
-Return to playing will no longer reset the library view back to the first tab
-Bypass keyguard for custom lockscreen will now work on Oreo (only when PIN/pattern/password is disabled)
-Fixed playing audio files from file explorer apps on newer version of android
-Fixed issue saving changes after modifying and existing playlist

GMMP 3.0 Alpha 2 - More Preferences and Song Info Dialog

I spent a good amount of time adding a bunch of custom preference views / items in order to add in some of the more advanced customizations.  The scanner edit path UI has been completely redone so it is no longer confusing as to which folders you have selected.  Now the UI will present a list of all the folders you have added.  You can add new folders or remove existing ones.

There is a toggle to switch between advanced and simple settings

I was also able to add another long requested feature which was to be able to view an individual song's metadata in a popup.  So here is that.  Its accessible in now playing and the song lists.

I will continue to add more preferences as they become available in future alphas.
