BEFORE CONTRIBUTING TO THE WAIL APP!

Please read small wiki about commits style guides, git work flow and sources styleguides -> WIKI

---

Questions and answers:

• What about code quality & architecture? — Code is pretty old and bad, please take a look at issues list with proposed improvements.
• Why repo has small amount of commits? — Because original repo has my personal data, which I decided to remove before making WAIL Open Source. I decided to not use git filter-branch or bfg to delete these files, so I just created new repo with source code. Sorry guys, about ~250 commits were lost...
• Why you have last.fm secret api keys in Open Source project? — Just because it's very easy to decompile the apk and get them from it, so, please do not use them for evil purposes :)
• Will WAIL be released to Google Play with your fixes? — YES, of course! This is the main purpose of making WAIL Open Source project, I have no time to work on it, so I hope you will help WAIL!

android-wail-app's Issues

Language selection in Settings

@tehabe helped with German translation #28, so I think, it's time to add language selection to the WAIL Settings for users, who want to set it manually (me for example :)

I think it should be spinner with next items:

• Auto (selected by Android from available resources)
• English
• German

Later we'll be able to add other languages

Add support for TuneIn Radio app

Guys, please check possibility of adding support to the TuneIn Radio App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tunein.player

Add support for Rocket Player

Multiple track scrobbling

There is a bug (incorrect behavior) in WAIL.

WAIL can scrobble track multiple times if you or Android will pause the track WAIL can scrobble it, and then, scrobble it again if it will be continued

Internal code architecture improvement

@artem-zinnatullin, you've mentioned once in #48 that WAIL has bad architecture. So may be it's time to improve it using tools you listed?
Or it's not the part of your plan for WAIL? :)

Material Design!

Move CI builds to TravisCI

It automatically triggers builds for every commit and pull-request.
https://travis-ci.org/

I can set up the build script.

Add support for Beats Music (not HTC)

Here is the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beatsmusic.android.client

Add support for Sound Cloud app

Pocket Casts Tracks not scrobbling but showing up as currently listening

When I listen to a podcast with Pocket Casts (http://www.shiftyjelly.com/pocketcasts) the currently listening state is sent to last.fm but when playing is finished, the track does not get scrobbled.
I'm not sure if this is intended behavior but I think people would expect either the tracks got scrobbled or not showing up at last.fm in general. (personally I would like to scrobble my podcasts ;)

Tested with Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2012)
v0.6.4 beta (from Play Store)

"Disable scrobbling over mobile network"

Does "off" mean mobile network will be used or does "off" mean it won't be used.

It should be the latter also the description should be "Scrobbling over mobile network"

Add support for Music X Match player

Request from user

Simple widget for turn on/off scrobbler

"Those would be extra but a simple scrobble on/off switch.
Example would be when I listen to comedy albums, I don't want those going to my last.fm list."

Add support for VK app

Enable browser based last.fm authentication.

Some users are too paranoid (me?) to enter their last.fm credentials in a third-party app. It would be great if WAIL allows users to authorise WAIL to access their last.fm account using browser authentication.
More information here: http://www.last.fm/api/desktopauth

Wail settings optimization

@artem-zinnatullin:

Lint suggests to use SharedPreferences.Editor.apply() instead of commit() for better performance, apply will happen in background thread, commit in caller (Ui) thread

Notifications bug?

In Russian:

"В последней на сегодня бете при выключении оповещения в статус-баре через некоторое время отключается и звуковое оповещение о заскробленном треке. Закономерность уловить не смог, заметил вчера вечером. Сегодня обновлял прошивку, после пеерзагрузки точно слетело. При этом, если включить звуковое оповещение в настройках, авоматом включается и оповещение в статусбаре.
Как-то так. Если надо будет, я отправлю логкат"

Add support for scrobbling from Kate Mobile App

Here is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.perm.kate&hl=en

I think, we can contact with the Developer

Add support for Slacker Radio

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slacker.radio here is the app

"I used to (untill yesterday) have a galaxy s4, and it had no problems picking up tracks played by slacker radio. Now I have a lg g3 and slacker tracks are not being seen."

Remove appcompat dependency

Widget to ''love" currently playing track on Last.FM

Based on this review.

@artem-zinnatullin, do you want to have this feature?

Use Otto (EventBus) instead of BroadcastReceivers in some cases

Track doesn't scrobbles

Hi,

In the track section where scrobbled tracks are shown there are some tracks which keeps showing scrobbling but doesn't gets scrobbled

Integrate GitHub repo with Travis

@ilya-murzinov please check this links, WAIL's Travis project on your account, I can configure GitHub's part

Report from email: WAIL not working with Google Play Music

Hi!

The scrobbler doesn't seem to work with Google Play (Google music app) anymore. Settings are set to on though, so not sure why. Any idea?

Best,

Sebastien

Strange compatibility with Stellio player

When scrobble writes "null - null", then after 20-30 seconds to stabilize
And in it I liked being able to listen to the audio of the [vk.com]
But the fact that it does not always work correctly with Wail - it saddens me

Add support for 8tracks

I would love to see support for 8tracks! Link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.e8tracks

Main screen should display current playing track

WAIL users want to see if WAIL handling playing music track at the moment, so we need to show this on the Main screen

Create API for Music Apps, who want to send music info themselves

Btw, WAIL currently support this, but there is no description of how to do it..

Having "press back twice to exit" looks wrong

This looks wrong: why app is forcing me to press back twice to "exit"?

1. What do I gain by this? No android apps on my phone do this thing, it feels very unusual and "bad" for my habits. Why can't I just go back right away and return if I need, that can be easily done.
2. Pressing "back" is not "exiting" on Android - it is more like "leaving" the app. It remains in a 'sleeping\cached' state and I can see it in "recent apps" list and I can return to it anytime.
3. Some apps do override back button, but they have specific reasons for that: for example Chrome and Firefox - they use this for navigation back to previous document and this makes sense. And even there there's no "twice to exit" thing

All in all, this seems rather odd thing to do, especially for this app.
Do you consider removing it or at least make it optional (but why anyone would need it? ;))

Support for scrobbling to libre.fm

Potentially adding ability to add your own scrobble URLs for a situation when you run your own libre.fm server.

Switch to Retrofit + OkHttp + Gson

It's a part of Internal code architecture improvement (#53)

Add support for JetAudio Plus

Add OPPO Music Player support (Android Color OS)

Add support of internal OPPO Music player from Color OS.
Applications can be found https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzTMv76_aS1aZXNWTFFjSFBaNHM&usp=sharing

Main application and the widget (for sure)

Show notification after enabling while music is playing

@ilya-murzinov when music is playing and status bar notifications are not enabled, if I enable status bar notifications they won't show until track changed

I think it's possible to check WAILSettings.getNowScrobblingTrack() and if result is not null when user enables notifications you can show notification immediately

Handle common errors from Last.fm api

Such as authorization problems and so on which can occur in every request, if Retrofit will be used as API layer, it can be simply done by request interceptor which will create special exceptions with parsed errors

Add the option to disable scrobbling over mobile network

Based on Google Play comment.

Turn off support for Listen Audiobook Player

Recently I noticed that WAIL was scrobbling from Listen Audiobook Player. I don't really have any use for scrobbling audiobook tracks. Can you provide an option to turn off support for this player?

Add support for XiiAlive app

Fix all lint errors

try to run lintRelease gradle task and check the report
