App with media capabilities

This release contains many new features regarding media usage. The most prominent features will be outlined below. You can download the Android app from the Assets section below.

Initial media entries

When starting the app for the first time, a set of images, audio, and video files will be displayed in the app. Those media files reflect some general and most common use cases. The corresponding media files will be placed in the internal device storage and can be accessed from within as well as outside of the app.

Adding, editing, and deleting entries

Adding entries

New media entries can be added from the media list by tapping on the "+" icon on the right side of the app bar. In the new dialog, a media file from the device file system can be selected and a name and description added. Once you're done, tap on the "save" icon on the right side of the app bar to save the entry. Depending on the media type, the new entry will show up in the correct tab. Most modern media file formats can be added to the app.

Editing entries

To edit an entry, simply tap on it. The editing dialog is identical to the new entry dialog, the previously saved data displayed in the appropriate fields being the only exception. Then, tap on the "edit" icon on the right side of the app bar. You can now change the name and description of the entry as well as the associated media file. Once you're done, tap on the "save" icon on the right side of the app bar to save the entry. Depending on the media type, the updated entry will show up in the correct tab.

Deleting entries

To delete an entry, tap on it in the media list. Then, tap on the "delete" icon on the right side of the app bar. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion of the file. If you do, the dialog will be cleared and the entry removed from the app. For now, the corresponding media file will remain in the file system of your device.

Local preview

When scrolling through media lists, it is possible to get a preview of any entry by pressing on the corresponding "Play" button. A fullscreen dialog containing the appropriate preview will open. Depending on the file type, this may be an image, an audio player, or a video player. It is possible to play and pause audio and video files by tapping on them. It is also possible to jump to a specific timestamp by scrolling the progress bar at the bottom of the player.
