# Music Remote
|
|
|
|
A minimal, modern Android app: **Kotlin** + **Jetpack Compose** (Material 3), built and
|
|
tested with **Nix**.
|
|
|
|
Jetpack Compose *is* the modern Android UI framework — declarative Kotlin UI that has
|
|
replaced the old XML layouts. Material 3 is Google's current design system, wired up here
|
|
with dynamic (wallpaper-based) color on Android 12+.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
flake.nix Nix entrypoint: dev shells, SDK, package, emulator
|
|
package.nix Reproducible APK build (nixpkgs-style derivation)
|
|
deps.json Lockfile of Gradle/Maven deps (generated — see below)
|
|
settings.gradle.kts Gradle project + repositories
|
|
build.gradle.kts Root build script (declares plugin versions)
|
|
gradle/libs.versions.toml Version catalog: all dependency/plugin versions
|
|
app/
|
|
build.gradle.kts The :app module (Android + Compose config)
|
|
src/main/
|
|
AndroidManifest.xml App/activity declaration
|
|
kotlin/ca/ksamad/musicremote/
|
|
MainActivity.kt Entry activity; sets the Compose content
|
|
Theme.kt Material 3 theme (dynamic color)
|
|
res/values/ strings.xml, themes.xml
|
|
src/test/kotlin/... A plain JVM unit test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Everyday Development (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
Use the dev shell — it puts a JDK, Gradle, and the Android SDK on your PATH with the
|
|
right environment variables set:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix develop
|
|
gradle assembleDebug # build the debug APK -> app/build/outputs/apk/debug/
|
|
gradle testDebugUnitTest # run unit tests
|
|
gradle tasks # see everything available
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The debug APK is unsigned but installable on a device/emulator:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
adb install app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Android Studio
|
|
|
|
For the GUI editor, Compose previews, and device manager:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix develop .#studio
|
|
android-studio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open this folder as an existing project. (Android Studio manages its own SDK; the
|
|
command-line flow above is fully independent of it.)
|
|
|
|
### Emulator
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix run .#emulate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Reproducible Build with Nix
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix build # -> ./result/music-remote.apk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Unlike `gradle assembleDebug`, this build runs **fully offline**: every Gradle/Maven
|
|
dependency is pinned by hash in `deps.json`, and Nix supplies the Android SDK. It also
|
|
runs the unit tests (`testDebugUnitTest`) as its check phase, so a green `nix build` means
|
|
both "it assembles" and "tests pass". This is what you'd use in CI for a reproducible
|
|
artifact.
|
|
|
|
> Note: `package.nix` and `app/build.gradle.kts` contain a few small workarounds, active
|
|
> **only** during dependency capture (gated on the `IN_GRADLE_UPDATE_DEPS` env var), that
|
|
> stop Nix's "resolve every configuration" sweep from tripping over internal AGP/Kotlin
|
|
> configurations. They don't affect the dev shell or the actual build. See the comments in
|
|
> `app/build.gradle.kts` for the details.
|
|
|
|
### Regenerating `deps.json`
|
|
|
|
Any time you change a dependency or plugin version (i.e. edit
|
|
`gradle/libs.versions.toml` or a `build.gradle.kts`), regenerate the lockfile:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix build .#default.mitmCache.updateScript
|
|
./result # runs the build under a proxy, rewrites ./deps.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then commit the updated `deps.json`. (It works by recording Gradle's dependency
|
|
downloads through a man-in-the-middle proxy and storing their hashes — see
|
|
`package.nix`.)
|
|
|
|
## Docs
|
|
|
|
- [`docs/device-testing.md`](docs/device-testing.md) — build & install onto a
|
|
real Android device/DAP over USB (and the NixOS `adb` notes).
|
|
- [`docs/TODO.md`](docs/TODO.md) — near-term roadmap / known bugs.
|
|
|
|
## Version notes
|
|
|
|
Pinned in `gradle/libs.versions.toml`: AGP 8.7.3, Kotlin 2.0.21, Compose BOM 2024.10.01,
|
|
compiled against `compileSdk` 35, `minSdk` 24. Nix supplies Gradle 8.14. If you bump
|
|
these, keep AGP/Kotlin/Gradle mutually compatible and regenerate `deps.json`.
