[APP][4.0+] beat (v1.1.01) - a music player with floating controls

[dakdroid]

Playstore link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.stefanpledl.beat

• Free & no Ads
• First music player app that had floating controls like the fb-chatheads.
• This is a pure FOLDER player (albums and artits is integrated, but again the whole folder where the artist/album is found will be shown!).
• You can stream music from Dropbox and Google Drive.

I developed this for my personal use, so if you want more features, please let me know, but I might not add them .

The app is fully customizable: Different list styles, colors, sizes.

Bugs:

[COLOR="Red"](done, testing) - shuffle/repeat not sticking after app restart
(done, testing) - small cover not displayed, when switching from cloud to device 
+ showing small cover placeholder if no cover is found, because it is clickable now (jumps to currently playing folder)
(done, testing) - song name sometimes not displayed in notification / on lock screen
[/COLOR]- placeholder image might be sized wrong when the cover size is changed until the view is reloaded
- app needs to be active for widget to work
- cloud playback: no fwd/rwd + force close
- incoming sms pauses the playback

Changelog:

1.1.01: 
- covers displayed per file not per folder (if set in tag)

1.1.0: 
- fixed source spinner immediately closing
- versioning changed 

1.37:
- fixed crash when switching to external storage

1.35:
- cover in floating controls optimized
 
1.34: 
- fixed a couple of force closes
- covers displayed in floating controls instead of the icon
- font sizes should be fixed

1.30:
- fixed Equalizer after breaking it in 1.28

1.28: 
- PICTURE RESOLUTION: 
 Reduced for all devices because it causes memory errors on devices with big screens
 I will handle the picture resolution properly in the next updates
 
- fix: covers from tags was disabled
- fix: force close (pictures too big on huge screens to fit in memory)
- fix: slide up panel not 'slideable' after reopening the app after a while
- fix: rare crash when bastboost is enabled on some devices
- fix: rare crash when switching songs with floating controls
 
1.27:
- fix: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification (2)

1.26:

- fix: rare force close 1
- fix: rare force close 2
- fix: next song not playing, when switched from 'on device' to 'cloud' and back to 'on device'
- fix: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification

ToDo:

[COLOR="Red"](done, testing) swiping up/down in slideup-panel to quickly change volume
(done, testing) animating the top cover image a bit (l,r,u,d, scaling)
(done, testing) tapping the now-playing cover to jump to playing folder
[/COLOR]
- other cloud services (Box, Copy, ...), if there is an Android API for the service, I will look into adding it
- tablet + landscape layouts
- random playback from all songs
- include subfolders to playback/playlists
- display all songs
- option to additionally display info - such as album name on folders
- check if it is possible to map keyboard keys (e.g. via USB) to functions in app (shuffle/repeat, etc.)

Donations:

I didn't remove the 'buy ad removal' option, when I removed the ads, you could purchase that in the app (it's a subscription, tho).

It is free, robust, easy to use and the best feature it has: I am still actively developing it. So if you have an idea which should be implemented or find a bug, it usually takes only a couple of hours until I have an update ready.

The app is divided into multiple screens:

• JUST BPM: either tap the speed or use one of the many buttons to adjust it
• ADVANCED: change ticks per beat, beats per bar, turn on vibrate or mute
• INDICATOR: one single screen for a huge beat counter
• Magic Wheel: a drum teacher told me that it might be good for his students to have a metronome which would increase the speed over time, so I added the magic wheel. Set the starting BPM at

[RainGame]

well this seems pretty cool!

New UI, see first posts.
I am currently working on a "Manage DrumBox Patterns" option, which will make it possible to save/load/delete different patterns.
Syncing the patterns over GDrive will be implemented aswell.

To those who downloaded Drummer's Metronome:
I can see 2 force closes but I cannot reproduce these.
I can only tell that they happened when the volumes were changed.
If that happened to YOU please contact me:
