Android Studio - Gradle upgrade breaking spectrums loading

flyingdutchman · May 14, 2021

@maxmp, I was not able to post in Developers area hence this post here. Basically a request for help/assistance

After my latest upgrade of $YAPS$ skin (v138) recently some users made me aware that the spectrums no longer loaded and defaulted to Poweramp - spectrum-centered.

To make a long story short, it turns out that the Gradle update from

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'
to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0'

causes the problem.

below some stacktrace

it is worth noting that the error:

05-14 10:24:52.246 3579-3579/? E/SkinInfo: fillFromXml bad tag=resources at Binary XML file line #2 app=skins.v3.Poweramp.apowerampskin

shows even when things work as expected.

Reverting back to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3' resolves the issue

Thanks for the report. I will try to reproduce this shortly with the Sample skin + preset.

flyingdutchman · May 14, 2021

@maxmp one user reports waveseek was misbehaving too, now fixed with my new release reverted to previous gradle

maxmp · May 19, 2021

@flyingdutchman what is your Studio version? I can't get (easily) my Studio 4.1.2 to work with gradle 4.2.0.

flyingdutchman · May 19, 2021

@maxmp 4.2.1 , 10 may 2021

flyingdutchman · August 9, 2021

@maxmp upgrading gradle still fails the loading of spectrums. is this something you can fix ?

@maxmp, followed instructions in the latest github release, checked out the gradle changes, upgraded to Artic Fox, target 30,

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.1'

Turns out that the spectrums do not work on emulators but appear to work fine on a physical device

maxmp · August 19, 2021

@flyingdutchman a bit more data required: what PA version is affected, what are the emulator Android version and architecture, where it doesn't work, and how exactly milk preset is added to the project ~~(is it skin project? visualization apk?).~~

flyingdutchman · August 20, 2021

@maxmp I always use the latest release, currently 911.

Emulator:

Emulators Android 10, built with Genymotion V3.2.1 and Genymotion-ARM-Translation_for_8.0 applied

Android 11.0 x86 build through Visual Studio (Artic Fox atm),

Example of style implementation:

<style name="yaps_mainMiniSpectrum_spectrum_user_defined_1">
    <item name = "spectrum_layout_style">@style/yaps_spectrum_user_defined_1</item>
    <item name="mainMiniSpectrumLayout">@layout/mini_spectrum</item>
    <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:TopWaveseek">@style/TopWaveseek_hide</item>
</style>

<style name="yaps_spectrum_user_defined_1" parent="yaps_mainMiniSpectrum_MilkFRS">
    <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:presetUri">
        apk://skins.v3.Poweramp.apowerampskin#yellow_burst.milk</item>-->
</style>

where parent is

<style name="yaps_mainMiniSpectrum_MilkFRS">
    <item name="android:layout_height">@dimen/yaps_TopWaveseekLayout_Maxheight</item>
    <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:bgColor">@color/transparent</item>
  
    <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:layout_attachTop">
        @com.maxmpz.audioplayer:id/sub_aa_buttons
    </item>
    <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:layout_attachLeft">parent</item>
    <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:layout_attachRight">parent</item>
    <item name="android:layout_gravity">center_vertical</item>
    <item name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer:layout_gravityTarget">@com.maxmpz.audioplayer:id/play
    </item>
</style>

@maxmp although I had thourougly tested this with previous gradle releases and observed consistent behaviour of (working with earlier gradle and error when using later version), the spectrums now suddenly work on the Genymotion emulator but not on the android studio one.

maxmp · August 20, 2021

@flyingdutchman I tested 911 in emulator (x64 Android 11, running Poweramp arm64), and spectrum (bar) visualizations are just not rendered, so I guess this is the root of the issue.

maxmp · August 26, 2021

I would add the next 912 build resolves this issue - spectrum visualizations bug fixed for the emulators, though more issues may arise due to mandatory (by Google) target sdk bump to 30.

@maxmp much appreciated !!
