A week later

By
I was on travel for work most of this week so I didn't get to work on my app as much as I wanted to, but I still managed to get a good amount finished.  I am trying not to spend too much time on the looks right now.  I did separate the app into 3 main views: the library, now playing, and the playlist.  You can navigate between all 3 with the menu.


I also made some major improvements with the playlist.  The only thing visually different is the italics + white font for the current playing the song.  I also made the playlist persistent.  The current tracklist is saved off to a database along with the current track you are listening to. 

I also added some new context menu options for the library.
Play: Will erase the active playlist and play either the artist, album, song or genre depending on what was pressed.
Play Next: this will que up the artist, album, song or genre to play right after your current song finishes.  This feature is a must for people with music ADD like myself.
Enqueue: adds the selection to the end of the playlist



I did some other things under the hood like a massive code cleanup and added logging.

3.4.0

By
Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
