1.2 status update - now playing changes

The skinning system itself is done, so now I'm making the remaining changes I have planned to the UI before actually creating new skins.  Here is one of the changes.


The tags displayed in now playing can be customized much more than before.  Before there was only the option to turn on/off the 6 tags (artist, album, track, genre, file, folder).  1.2 will introduce the ability to choose what you want to display, and in what order.


The displayed tags option will now open a sub menu.


There are now 6 "slots" that can be customized to show 1 of 15 different tags (2 are combinations of track name and position or track number).  This way you can reorder the tags to get it to look exactly how you want.

There is also a new option to switch between showing icons before the tags, text, or nothing at all.



New tag options are as follows:
Year
Track Number
Playlist Position
Track and Position
Track and Track Number
Quality
Album Artist
Disc Number
Next Track

3.4.0

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
