GMMP 2.0 status update

By
Work on GMMP 2.0 has been underway for about a month and a half and I am making good progress.  GMMP was originally built in the froyo/gingerbread era so there is a lot of custom code i had to write that nowadays is handled by great 3rd party libraries.  I've made good progress bringing the code base up to date to the jelly bean / kitkat era, but still have a bunch more to do before I even begin with the UI redesign.
For those curious, yes GMMP 2.0 will follow the Material Design Guidelines.  I will do my best to still keep the existing holo skins in some form.  Switching development to android studio/gradle from eclipse will make skin maintenance much easier (build variants are awesome).

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
