Architecture

Architecture

ToneForge uses a modern MVP (Model-View-Presenter) architecture with native C++ audio processing and Java UI components. The application was completely refactored to implement clean architecture principles and improve maintainability.

🆕 New Architecture Overview

After the major refactoring, ToneForge now implements a 3-layer MVP architecture:

• View Layer: UI components (Fragments) with minimal logic
• Presenter Layer: Business logic and coordination
• Model Layer: Data management and audio processing

For detailed information about the new architecture, see MVP Architecture.

Main Components

┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐
│   AudioRecord   │───▶│  Audio Engine   │───▶│   AudioTrack    │
│   (Input)       │    │   (C++/JNI)     │    │   (Output)      │
└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘

Audio Processing Pipeline

1. Capture: AudioRecord captures audio from microphone
2. Processing: Buffer sent to audio_engine.cpp via JNI
3. Effects: Sequential application according to configured order
4. Playback: AudioTrack plays processed audio

📋 Current Project State

🔄 Coexistence of Old and New Architecture

The project currently maintains both the original and refactored implementations:

✅ New MVP Architecture (Implemented)

• 9 Refactored Fragments: All with MVP pattern
• 27 New Classes: Contracts, Presenters, and refactored fragments
• Base Classes: BaseView, BasePresenter, BaseFragment
• Navigation Controller: Centralized navigation
• Repository Pattern: AudioRepository for data access
• Domain Models: AudioState and EffectParameters

📦 Original Architecture (Preserved)

• 9 Original Fragments: Still present and functional
• All Managers: AudioStateManager, PresetManager, etc.
• All Adapters: EffectOrderAdapter, LooperTrackAdapter, etc.
• All Utilities: LoopExportUtil, LoopLoadUtil, etc.
• All Services: AudioBackgroundService, etc.

🎯 Migration Strategy

• Gradual Migration: New fragments can be used alongside old ones
• Backward Compatibility: Original functionality preserved
• A/B Testing: Can compare old vs new implementations
• Rollback Safety: Easy to revert if needed
