Nope at the moment. But I can add this feature to my to-do list😉

I would like to contribute 👍 are there any contribution guidelines?

You're welcome.

No (not a pro dev, don't even know how to write guidelines), just keep it simple :)

@enricocid how would you like the user to choose the path? Also are you using android studio i cant seem to get intellij working

A multi-select dialog? Really don't know

Yes I'm using Android studio.

Just for completion: work on this branch which will be the new MPGO (it has an options tab)

https://github.com/enricocid/Music-Player-GO/tree/master-mpgo-ex

Don't want you to waste time :)

I'm still new to this and trying my best to help :) @enricocid would you like something like this https://github.com/hedzr/android-file-chooser just to clarify i should be working on the MusicUtils.getMusicCursor() if i have not mistaken.
Cheers

Exactly!! :)

The current implementation is grouping both artists and folders as "Hidden items" I think if we can separate artists and folders, then I can loop through all the hidden folders and exclude them. I tried doing so but it fails :(

You are right. I also don't like the actual implementation.
In fact, I'm actually merging most of the changes to release them to public escluding folders for now. I will separate it for sure and rework hidden items too.

Hey this feature is really important because I don't know how to get the music in my Music folder to show up, thank you guys for working on this feature. I really appreciate it and hope it's included soon.

I can actually add an option to select folders we want to show.
So I can use this output as filter. I could also let the user to filter the music by artist.
This is a quick way I can handle this issue.
Anyway, it will require some days as I'm actually using an emu as my test device is broken, so I have to ask to other contacts/devs to test the app on their test devices.
Let me know if this is ok so I can start posting test APKs.

I can't provide a dialog listing the whole memory tree as it is a very complex and would not be compatible with Android 10 + (it is not possible anymore to access raw paths, and it is not suggested even in older Android versions ... ). It would be not worth the effort. Also, docs about storage access framework is not that good. I'm not sure I want saf in my app. It would make it more error prone.
That's the problem. Memory management is changing a lot unfortunately and I have to make sure to keep the code clean and compatible with newer versions without any gimmicks.
Many other devs are experiencing issues in this direction.

I could use a 3rd party library but its output (raw paths) can't be used in Android 10+.

Retro Music Player (also FOSS) uses a kind of blacklist for song selection using Android's MediaStore, it may be useful as an example: code

Thanks but this code is not compatible with scoped storage changes introduced in Android 10.

They are querying data column that returns the raw path of a music file.
In fact, they are using this attribute in the manifest

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

to opt out scoped storage. These changes will become mandatory in August 2020 and Android 11 so the app won't work on certain devices.

I already added the ability to hide artists and folders.
I can review this feature adding a dialog listing all the folders, letting the users to build a filter.
But again, I can't show the full folders tree as it is not possible to access the raw path but only the folder name.
