FastBeat Media Player

My Journey with Modern Android Development

I was tired of ad-heavy media players, so I built my own. FastBeat was my project to learn the latest Android standards: Jetpack Compose for UI, Media3 for playback, and Hilt for dependency injection. It taught me how to handle background services and build a high-performance media library using Room.

Project Highlights

[+]Learned the latest Android UI patterns using Jetpack Compose and Material 3.
[+]Explored complex background processing with Media3 ExoPlayer and Foreground Services.
[+]Built a robust local media database using Room with Coroutines and Flow.
[+]Implemented a Clean Architecture-lite stack to keep the playback logic modular.

Challenge

Building a media player that feels smooth while handling thousands of local files in the background is tough.

Solution

Leveraged Kotlin Coroutines for non-blocking I/O and Jetpack Compose for a lag-free, reactive UI.
