Introducing Open Squeeze, an Open Source fork of the commercial Android app Orange Squeeze from Orange Bike Labs. Orange Squeeze is an Android app that can be used to control Logitech Squeezebox devices on the Logitech Media Server platform.
Open Squeeze is a very bad example of how a modern Android app should be developed. It has a decade of legacy code/cruft and has survived to this day despite the very schizophrenic state of Android development. You've been warned.
Orange Squeeze 1.0 was released on December 15, 2011 targeting a minimum of Android 2.1. Since then the product has undergone development in fits and starts, but as of Spring 2020 most development stopped. Open Squeeze was released in July 2022 with Orange Squeeze branding and certain other unreleasable components removed, but is otherwise fully-functional.
Find pre-built APK releases (alpha, beta, and release) in the project's Github Releases.
You can also just get the latest release here.
Use Android Studio Dolphin (2021.3.1) release to build the project. You need to install and configure the Android SDK first.
# .\gradlew assembleRelease
Then look in app\build\outputs\apk\release for the unsigned APK file that you can deploy to your
device.
If you'd like to submit a PR for a change, please feel free. Orange Bike Labs/Ben Sandee acts as stewards for the project for the time being.
Please use Conventional Commits for development moving forward.
Please mirror the existing code style as best as possible and use the project code formats defined in the Android Studio workspace. Certain legacy code style in the app is hideous and should be avoided for new code (e.g. the "m" member variable prefix).
It's possible that contributions may be folded into future releases of Orange Squeeze. If so, the authors will be recognized in the release notes.
Open Squeeze was developed by a native American English speaker. The German and French translations were initially machine generated and then heavily modified by users and contributors.
Translations to new languages and modifications to existing translations should be done via Weblate which is freely provided for Open Source projects. Thank you to them for providing this service!
