Ignore the artifacts around the window containing GMMP. It is a side effect of taking a screenshot i guess (it appears fine on the device) |
Anyway, the main focus of WIP 11 is bookmarks. In the process of refactoring / rewriting the MusicService, I rewrote the Bookmarker and added a UI to show existing bookmarks. All of the previous work I spent on creating common, reusable UI components is really paying off. Adding a functional bookmark list UI only took roughly 15 to 30 minutes. Similarly the Artist and Genre details UIs I showed in WIP 10 took about the same amount of time. Since its so quick to add these UIs, I can see myself adding a bunch of optional views for some other fields like year or composer (and making 2 separate UIs for artist / album artist if the user wants to have both easily accessible)
The bookmark list will show all the currently bookmarked tracks and let you play them directly from the list (or delete them). Like every other view i've shown in 3.0 so far, the metadata will be customizable. For this post I just had the list items show song name and bookmarked time. For the video below I set it up to just auto bookmark everything, but the previous bookmark settings will still be there in 3.0 (auto bookmark based of song length, m4b extension, or by folder). The video will show the song auto bookmarking when changing tracks, and then resuming at the same position when returning to the song. It also shows the manual bookmarking and unbookmarking of the currently playing song.
My focus next will be creating a folder UI. The folder UI is a bit more complex than the other UIs (besides maybe now playing) so I imagine its going to take awhile
