Minimalist Music

A light weight, folder-based clean music player made in WPF (although there's no MVVM involved). It's by no means a fleshed-out player; There's no playlist management, no equalizer, etc.

Features

• Supports pretty much all audio file formats (has nothing to do with me, that's just the native Android MediaPlayer)
• Built-in explorer
• Dynamic queues (long-press a music file)
• Audiobook chapters
• Lock screen + Bluetooth controls
• Light/Dark Modes
• Remembers playback state between runs

Run & Build

Simply install Android Studio, and click the play button!

• Compose instead of XML

• (dynamic colors)[https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/theming/dynamic-colors]

• equalizer

  • issue with getting to the session ID from the controls
  • issue with getting to the activity from the service!!
  • so, put a reference to the activity in the state!
    • replace the context with the activity
    • can't because I'm sometimes initializing it from the service
  • fuck this
  • appears not to make any difference :D :D

• DONE - playback rate

  • a lot more straightforward
  • need to update the state
  • need to update the media session

• DONE - icons

  • DONE - eq icon 4 bars with increased spacing
  • DONE - playback speed smaller play icon
  • DONE - notification icon smaller

• DONE - settings sheet gesture handling

• DONE settings popup

  • DONE - dark mode selection

  • DONE - gesture detection
    • move the sheet around
    • determine the delta threshold to hide/slide up the thing
  • DONE - interpolator
  • DONE - theme select
  • DONE - seek jump amount
  • DONE - shuffle/repeat
  • DONE - privacy policy link
    • Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com")); startActivity(browserIntent);
  • DONE - compare perf of service start up: in onStart vs as before + with/without the theme change possible overhead
  • DONE - colors of borders similar to inactive text

• DONE - search mode

  • DONE - update icon
  • add exit animation sequence (flip of the original)
  • when it activates
    • breadcrumb bar mode changes
    • track count, add, and play selected buttons should be hidden
    • edit text should take focus
    • controls should hide (explorer should extend all the way down)
  • when it deactivates
    • edit text should blur
  • actual search function
    • add hidden to file model
    • if hidden, should animateItemRemoved
  • if active and the multiselect mode is activated, the track count, add, and play selected buttons will be displayed and track count text should change from "x track(s) selected" to "(x)"
  • if multiselect mode is active, the edit text will be displayed and track count text should change...
