Prevent Flash Of Unavailable Album Art (FOUAA)
Open, LowPublic

Description

The media notification on Android briefly displays without album art (thus defaulting to our orange color), creating a disruption when the playing music changes.

We can prevent this disruption by delaying the update until the album art arrives, if that does not take too long.
Research:

  1. Investigate common delays between clicking a button, receiving updated song information, and having album art.
  2. Choose a suitable maximum delay, based on the results of 1. and human perception.
  3. Create a diagram showing the possible choices depending on the information we receive (and when), i.e. when to delay and when not.

Coding:

  • Implement the diagram
