Someone is meshing stuff :D

Refined animation and added slide gestures :DDD

In the days I went missing (only 2 days actually) I was developing my own navigation framework to replace viewpager2 for better mimicking iOS. The expected result is shown above. It's basically done but I still need to finish the lifecycle integration. I'm also planning to add things like drag gestures, iOS like shared element transition. I made it as lightweight as possible and you can see there's almost no GPU overdraw :D But that's just a demonstration app, in accord's final product you will still see some excessive overdraw due to current navigation structure (and bottom sheet) Let me know if you want me to make it into a library (And it will still be open sourced if it's not a library)

Bonus award of the day

Hey! Maybe it's not big but we made something new: Progress bar now comes without momentum (for accessibility and for accurate picking) and it has a connected animation with the timestamp too. Just like the good old iOS. And same as the old days, here's the comparison: Previous - Accord Latter - Competitor

Now presenting to you: The most apple like slider in android view

At least I'm not effected *phew* Thank god I threw my redmi away :D

Google made something terrible: If you ever coded an android app, then in .idea/deploymenttargetselector.xml there will be your serial number of your phone connected to your android studio. Now comes the best part: It's not included in .gitignore. We have seen people's location getting leaked for using OEM android systems that comes with location tracker. And all you need to track the phone is the serial number. Now look at github and you will be amazed at how much serial numbers are there on the internet.

Also don't be confused, we have two different devs working on two apps ( nick working on gramophone - material3 style, akane working on accord - apple style)

And for those who are still wondering, this app is a full view based app. I didn’t switch to compose because of its notorious performance problems. And don’t be sad if you think there won’t be fancy animations, I’m adding them myself. Almost all views in the player page are handwritten custom view components so it’s taking longer time than expected, so please please wait patiently!!

Writing shaders and learning OpenGL for better blend background these days.Then I decide to halt the work because it’s taking me way too much time and probably

Also you can notice the lack of aura but working on it

Also let your friends know accord development has been relaunched /s #AccordRevived

Also I will be giving out dev logs everyday (when I'm in the mood) so expect something for tomorrow

Ah, yes, physics. The one thing that apple favors for their animations and various controllers. On iOS apple music the volume slider follows the natural momentum fairly well. After excessive thinking and drawing I have managed to replicate their animations on android :D First - Accord Second - Competitor Looks like this someone F-ed up their momentum animation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Making continuous rounded corner today. As it’s an important aspect in apple’s aesthetics surely an Apple Music mock can’t miss that. So we bring you the new app-wide C2 round corner calculated with bezier curve :D
