0.21.1 - Memory fixes

By
edit:  I had originally posted a broken build earlier last night so if gapless playback or flac playback doesn't work download it again from the link below.

Before I started working on this project, I had not touched java in a few years.  I had completely forgotten how easy it is to leak memory in java.  Memory issues are not something you typically associate with a language that uses garbage collection.  There is a good article on the android dev site about preventing memory leaks: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/01/avoiding-memory-leaks.html

Anyway I went through every single class in my app and made sure things properly are cleaning up.  If you were having issues with 0.21 definitely give this a try.

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
