Additional info/utility for Notification device.

[icemanjkh]

1. Any chance of adding, into the GMMP notification bar 'device', some queue info?

That is, simple queue data, just like on the top left (top line) of the Queue screen.

2. Any chance of adding some kind of track position info/selector?

Pls see attached image for a better explanation.
Suggestion 2 is preferred (but maybe more complex) .
Cheers

do you know if any other players have the progress bar in the notification? I ask because the notifications work differently than normal UIs. For a normal UI, you constantly have reference to each of the elements so something like a seekbar can be updated just by saying seekbar.setposition(whatever). With widgets and notifications.. you basically have to submit the entire view to the OS to display and i cant imagine doing that once a second ends up being very good for performance

anyway i plan on having extended notifications in 1.4.10 so i can look into displaying some additional information

Thanks for the informative reply.
No, I don't know of any that operate like that - I checked N7, Google Play music, Neutron and PowerAmp. (And your reasoning is probably why not).

I was simply thinking along the lines of what I often find myself wanting when I use the notification area to control the music:
Eg:
1. Checking if at the end of queue - (will pressing FF result in going to a random album or stopping, etc.?); and
2. Wish I could simply adjust the track time (especially useful on a 45 min DJ live set).

Will be interesting to see what you come up with in 1.4.10 :-)
Cheers

Latest notification bar updates are pretty cool.
No chance of adding the "xx/yy" queue info (at least)?

Not until/unless i make the notifications completely customizable . The position alone already makes it pretty cramped on many devices
