3.0 Work in Progress 7: Fast Scroll & Gestures

The last 2 weeks I added in fast scroll (scroll through long lists fast by dragging down the bar on the right with the letter / number indicator to show where you are in the list) and gestures on now playing and the mini player.

The first up is fast scroll.  This rendition of fast scroll SHOULD be a bit more consistent than the old one in 2.0.  There was a random bug that was very difficult to reproduce that would cause the letters to not match what was showing on the screen.  The fast scroll code is much simpler this time around so i dont expect that bug to be an issue.  The video is a big laggy and the fast scroll in general is not as smooth as i'd like it to be, but that will be worked on once 3.0 gets to beta.



The second feature is the addition of gestures.  All the previous gestures have returned (swipe left right up down / tap / double tap / long press) plus I added in a few more.  New gestures are 2 finger tap/double tap/long press, and a 2 finger pan.  The pan is considered a "continuous" gesture, so there will only be a few actions that you can bind to it.  The video shows it bound to adjusting the volume, but the other options would be adjusting tempo or seeking the track.  If you decide to not use the pan, you will be able to use 2 finger swipes.  Right now GMMP is using the stock version of the gesture library and it works fairly decent for the most part.   If users find some gestures hard to use I will try to tweak the library to improve that.



My next 3.0 post on here will most likely not be for another 3-4 weeks since I have a vacation coming up and I plan on doing a 2.x patch for android O plus some other bug reports i've gotten over the past few months.

3.4.17 and 3.5 Beta 1 Released

I was not planning on putting out any more 3.4.x updates, however google refused to approve the 3.5 beta due to some policy updates that caused the existing 3.4.x version already released to no longer be compliant.  Therefore 3.4.15-3.4.17 are basically the work I've been doing on 3.5 for the last 16 months, but with all the new features disabled.  I would like to put them through more testing before enabling to the public, hence the beta. 3.4.17 (2024-10-25): Fixed crash on android 14+ trying to verify the unlocker 3.4.16 (2024-10-24): Fixed multi select in album details highlighting the wrong item 3.4.15 (2024-10-23): Update target api level to 34 Updated dependencies Manual scans are no longer ran in a foreground service due to google's new policies Last played time added to song info pop up Fixed issue where extra space was added in artists with numbers in name Increased full search limit from 100 to 10000 results Fixed issue with files missing tags showing up in the unkno...

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 released and is now free!

GoneMAD Music Player 4.0 is now fully rolled out!  After 14 years since initial release as being a paid app, I've decided to try something different and switch to being free with ads.  The market is completely different nowadays compared to the early 2010s.  Ads are everywhere and users typically do not want to pay for apps / games / etc.  But don't worry, those users who previously purchased the unlocker or in app purchase unlock will continue to get an ad free experience.  New users will also have the option to purchase an in app purchase to permanently remove ads.   Note: There is a bug with 4.0 where users with the standalone unlocker may see ads when they first upgrade.  You typically fix this by just force stopping the app and restarting.  Ads should not come back after that.  Alternatively you can contact gonemadsoftware@gmail.com and I can help you out as well.  I have no intention on making users who already paid see ads.
