drunkaudible's Issues

Play to the end of an episode and the progress does not update while the screen is locked.

Rename activities and services.

Rethink about sync between player activity and service.

New/Listened

Reorg PlayerProgress and DownloadProgress

Initially, if the file exists, there is a foreground blue / background grey bar showing PlayerProgress. If there is not file, show nothing. Once the entry clicked, show the DownloadProgress. When download is finished, invisible the DownloadProgress, and visible the PlayerProgress.

Remove stop button and combine start/pause buttons.

remember to start/stop updating views and states.

Consider report the bug to xarmarin community?

Android: PlayerPresenterFragement should not triger timer to update if not playing

learn from the avTouch sample. https://github.com/xamarin/monotouch-samples/blob/master/AVTouchSample/avTouchViewController.cs#L83

Reduce RAM occupation and optimize for read.

Now it is 70+MB. To control it under 40MB.

Clean StreamingBackgroundService

Add tabbar to Android

Four sections:

1. Home
2. Library
3. Store
4. Me

iOS: add Episode List.

Add initial Mobile.iOS project with basic tab view.

VI design

Logo, splash screen, color and theme.

Adjust the audio list view

Enlarge the icon image and fit to the height of the row. Use the white theme.

Start to play audio when receive an email.

Need to investigate whether receive some other notifications will cause sudden stop.

Split the AudioListAdapter to multiple adapters for different lists with inheritance.

Use inheritance.

iOS: Add remote control support with streaming audio

iOS: add player with two "global" variables CurrentAlbum and CurrentEpisode

Make playing status in AudioList obvious.

• Enter the activity and jump to the near entries of the playing one.
• The audio episode entry should show the playing status.

iOS: add Album List

Image size should be fixed.

iOS: Pause on the lock screen and the control center disappears.

Incorrect behavior of DownloadProgress and its UI.

After play with dev machine, I found:

• Download in progress should display the status.
• Updating one row's download progress bar should not affect other rows via view holder pattern.
• Show the bar only when it is needed. Move to #5 .

Clicking another episode when one episode is playing would not update.

Dispose timers

Click notification cannot get back to the player.

Replace depreciated FILL_PARENT with MATCH_PARENT.

Resume episode's progress when ever enter the AudioPlayerActivity.

Should update the inmemory object to database and to the Player service.

Purchase via Web API

Investigate iOS tab view project and avTouch

Enlarge the icon image and fit to the height of the row. Use the white theme.

Convert all singleton global variables to sub-classing configuration of the application.

For global variables, subclassing instead of singleton.

This is a following-up issue from #28

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/708012/how-to-declare-global-variables-in-android

Cons of singleton

• Inability to use abstract or interface classes;
• Inability to subclass;
• High coupling across the application (difficult to modify);
• Difficult to test (can't fake/mock in unit tests);
• Difficult to parallelize in the case of mutable state (requires extensive locking);
• Unclear and unmanageable lifetime contract unsuited for Android (or most other) development;

Change ID of models to the type of long and name of Id.

Override GetHashCode and Equal? Keep track of this for future consideration.

Rename AudioListView and its related files.

Android: Will the invalid (not null) IconUrl break the app?

iOS throws when the IconUrl is not valid.

Replace home logo with star logo or heart logo

iOS: A tab view of player (and Enable background modes in `info.plist`) with a progress bar.

No live streaming, just a player.

Add WebView for online store.

WebView should interact with activity to load album metadata into the database.

Following up #14

Working with puncsky/DrunkAudible.Web#1

Show a cross to cancel download.

open source xarmarin android player

App crashes when it is horizontal orientation.

AudioEpisode null or empty throws exceptions

Automatically update to the next downloaded episode.

Database connection should be established only once.

Followup #29

Android: Add onLowMemor support.

Set the album entry progress bar as indicator of listening progress for the whole album.

User Registration and Login

Unified web login system.

const vs. static readonly fields?

Figure out and make them consistent.

Split AudioDownloader/AndroidAudioDownloader

Add prev/play(pause)/next controls to notification and PlayerPresenterFragment
