MediaFloat v0.1.0

MediaFloat v0.1.0

MediaFloat v0.1.0 is the first public release of the project.

This version focuses on a compact Android overlay for core media controls, plus the setup and debugging surfaces needed to make that runtime understandable.

Highlights

• Floating media controls for Previous, Play / pause, and Next
• Draggable overlay bar with a fixed right-side handle
• Settings screen with supported button layouts, size presets, and a live preview
• Debug console with runtime readiness, media readiness, transport controls, and recent logs
• Support screen with setup guidance, version details, and current constraints
• Exported automation action for launching the overlay flow from routines or shortcuts

Setup notes

MediaFloat depends on Android overlay access, notification-listener access, and a visible foreground-service notification posture. If one of those pieces is missing, the app stays in a readable blocked state and points back to the system settings it needs.

Known limitations

• The overlay supports a single horizontal control family in this release
• Freeform resizing and freeform button placement are not supported
• Validation has been strong on emulator-based setup and runtime checks, but target-device testing is still recommended before wider use

Feedback focus

The most useful early feedback for v0.1.0 is:

• media-app compatibility
• overlay behavior across OEM builds
• permission-flow clarity
• practical issues with positioning, persistence, and recovery
