Android Auto Menu Structure Update and Playback Enhancement Proposal

Robert Stone requested to merge rhstone/vlc-android:android-auto-ui into master

Description

This MR contains a comprehensive overhaul to the Android Auto navigation menu. The root menu has been slightly re-organized, with the addition of My library and Streams. Shuffle All was relocated from the top of the root-menu to the bottom of the root menu. Album and playlist views have composite thumbnail images dynamically generated, drill-down menus allow for selection of a single track, play all of an entire album, genre, or artist.

Notes

  • The play all icon is currently using a drawable from the tv interface. It needs to be large to render in the grid view.
  • The playlist icon for an empty playlist is black and not visible. The menu seems to override the fill color on the root menu, but not on children. Need to determine if this should be the playlist symbol or a musical note.

Types of changes

  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Enhancement (non-breaking change which cleans up / improves existing functionality)

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING section of the README document.
