Blade is an Android music player. The goal of the project is to create an app that can play music from local user library, Spotify, Deezer, and SoundCloud.

Note: This app is no longer maintained, its repo was archived.

Anti-Features:

NonFreeComp (the application includes non-free components):
⇒ The app includes the Spotify SDK.
NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ The app connects to Spotify.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).

Android Jetpack Annotations (Utility)
library that contains the annotations for Android Jetpack.
AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
Constraint Layout Library (Utility)
library to reduce the number of nested views needed.
Coordinatorlayout (UI Component)
AndroidX library to position top-level application widgets, such as AppBarLayout and FloatingActionButton.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
Drawerlayout (UI Component)
AndroidX library to implement a Material Design drawer widget.
Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
AndroidX Media (Utility)
share media contents and controls with other apps.
Navigation (Utility)
a framework for navigating between 'destinations' within an Android application that provides a consistent API whether destinations are implemented as Fragments, Activities, or other components.
Preference (Utility)
a library to build interactive settings screens without needing to interact with device storage or manage the UI.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Recyclerview (Utility)
display large sets of data in your UI while minimizing memory usage.
Android Activity Saved State (Utility)

Google Protocol Buffers (Utility)
library that deals with Protocol Buffers (a.k.a., protobuf) – Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data.
Spotify Android SDK©Ⓝ (Development Framework)
allows your application to interact with the Spotify app service. (Note that while the SDK repo claims Apache license, the code is not available there)
OkHttp (Utility)
OkHttp is an HTTP+HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications.
Picasso (Utility)
image downloading and caching library.
kotlinx.coroutines (Utility)
library support for Kotlin coroutines.
