Radio Battletoads Player for Android (Alpha)

Radio Battletoads (Alpha!)

This is a Alpha version of a new player based on libVLC. It's ugly and simple. It just plays the radio and displays the status. Every ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7 and x86 devices should work. MIPS devices will crash for now. Sorry about that! VLC requires API level 9 (Android 2.3.0). So Android 2.2 and older versions won't work.

How to compile?

This depends on libVLC. But this source tree does NOT contain libVLC.

• Download and compile VLC following this instructions: https://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile
• Copy the compiled libvlcjni.so on libs/ directory (tipically, /libs/armeabi)
• Drop the entire org.videolan.libvlc package inside your project (inside the src directory).
• Compile using Eclipse, as usual.

What's next for this project?

I'm just testing if libVLC works OK for most people. So give me feedback, please! I'm listening on @rbattletoads on Twitter. After this initial testing phase, I'm planning an application rewrite and overhaul, following the Android 4.4 visual style guidelines. It will be much better than the old one, I promise. With ice cream on the top.

libVLC is not honoring the buffering setting

This seems to be a bug on VLC, or something weird being done wrong. See https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/android/2014-February/003267.html

Display calendar

Display the calendar somehow. Still thinking on how exactly do that. Maybe just a link to a calendar app wich shows the data? Is that the way to go?

Limit the buffering values on the Settings

The buffering setting is not controlled properly, so it can be set to whatever value the user inputs. It's currently limited to numbers due to the widget, but it can be set empty, very high and very low.

Mininum value could be 500, and maximum 10000. Blank values should be replaced by the default value, 1500.
