<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">This patch introduces an MPRIS widget.
The MPRIS widget can be used as a remote control for the active player on the paired device (e.g. my computer).
When added to the android device screen, the widget searches for the active player, and if found, it will display the current device name, player and media title, along with three buttons (prev, play/pause, next). It receives notifications from the paired device and updates accordingly. Several widgets could be added on different screens. They'll get updated together, with the same information. The updates come from a dedicated background service. The background service stops when the last widget is removed from the screen.
If no player is found, then it will display a "waiting" message. However, current code is not yet able to get a notification from the paired device and update the widget accordingly. For the moment, the widget should be removed then added again to the screen in order to get it correctly updated if a player was started meanwhile on the paired device. That leads to the following TODO: figure-out how to get notifications when a new player is launched and started playing on the paired device. I suppose that these should come from the kded, in order to prevent periodic polling from the android device and the power surge it may induce.
Other features I'd like to propose for a future review:
- volume adjusting,
- open the MPRIS activity when clicked.
