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 that GMMP uses.  Some had not been updated in 4+ years, so it took quite some work.  The 3.4.0 Beta is live on Google Play.  Will be fully released in a few days.

3.4.0 (2023-04-26):

New:

  • Updated target api level to Android 13 (api level 33)
  • Added IAP version of the unlocker (Settings -> Purchase)
  • Notification settings replaced with 'Media Controls' settings to reflect Android's Media Controls on Android 13+
  • Add ability to change GMMP's language through android system settings on Android 13+
  • Updated dependencies
  • Added Swedish translations and updated other translations

Fixes:

  • Fixed issue where detail artwork did not take up the full view
  • Lyric view will reset back to the top on track change

3.4.17 and 3.5 Beta 1 Released

By
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...

3.4.14

By
Google really messed with alarms and timers for android 14, so 3.4.14 should fix the sleep timer.  You will notice an alarm will show up in your alarms menu when the sleep timer is turned on.  This is the only way to actually get the sleep timer to reliably stop playback on time when your screen is off / phone locked. 3.4.14 (2024-05-17): Sleep timer should now be more reliable on android 14+ 3.4.13 (2024-04-29) Fixed metadata view incorrect sizing in now playing layout 1 3.4.12 (2024-04-23) Updated translations Fixed issues with left and right metadata alignment when no album art Multi artist/genre/composers should now be separated by a comma and space throughout GMMP 3.4.11 (2024-04-16) Added ability to choose whether to crop album art to 1:1 aspect ratio in now playing layout 2 (customize -> album art -> crop to fit) Fixed now playing tab 1:1 aspect ratio album art getting cropped Album art preview pop up should no longer crop art 3.4.10 (2024-03-31) Fixed auto bookma...
