Enhanced library maintenance approach - monitor media store directly #9

Closed adam-codersgu closed 1 year ago

adam-codersgu commented 1 year ago

Currently, the user's music library is refreshed whenever they open or return to the app. It would be preferable (and potentially less code intensive) to instead monitor the media store directly via some form of observer. I believe this is possible. If such a feature can be implemented, then it would allow the music library to be updated in realtime

Need to test whether this observer detects deletions and insertions

Interesting addition for API 30 https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/ContentObserver#onChange(boolean,%20java.util.Collection%3Candroid.net.Uri%3E,%20int)

Should have a system for preventing simultaneous requests to update the music library, but note that a new request was received and process it when ready

Implemented and merged https://github.com/adam-codersgu/supernova/pull/38
