[Needs review] New "Profiles" functionality

[fidelix]

Solves https://ideas.moonlight-stream.org/posts/25/per-game-settings

It lets you save/remove profiles, as well as assign a profile per app.
It can probably be improved to be per hostId+app instead, as well as allowing switching profiles globally (perhaps a quick floating button to select global profile). But I'd say this is a good start.

NOTE:
This is my first android code. This is also my first java code. It will probably be rubbish, so please be patient, tell me the "java" way and I will do my best to fix things.

Is it convenient to add the switch to turn on and off the virtual controller and switch the operation mode of mouse and touch in the quick hover button?

This can certainly be done, but it's not related to profiles or this PR. What you're asking simply sounds like a quick toggle for those settings, globally.

I think your idea of floating window is very good. If you can add more functions to it, will it be more perfect

[ikogan]

Not sure if this is currently already implemented but being able to select "Remote Desktop" mouse mode per game would be great as well.

@ikogan it's possible with this PR.

It's just waiting for the review of a maintainer.

Is it possible to review and merge the PR that solves this?

[jonathanmassehsj]

@cgutman any review about this?

[chancemon]

This is brilliant. I want this so bad! @fidelix Is your code still up-to-date still? I may need to patch this in myself.

Note: I am not a maintainer and have no authority in approving the pull request, just offering my opinion on this manner.

While this pull request does actually accomplish adding profiles, I don't think it has enough polish to consider being merged into master just yet.

Secondly, because this this is a highly rated feature, we will most certainly have to port this over to iOS and preferably at the same time so both platforms benefit. I'm not familiar with Swift but am committed to learning a bit of it to see if I can get this done on iOS but can't make any promises in terms of how long. iOS also has strict guidelines of exactly how the UI should be and may pose challenges, not sure just yet.

Also by design of this application, settings are applied immediately with no confirmation prompts of any kind. The current state of this code is completely different and expects you to hit save in order to apply changes and it is also rather blind in a sense where you can't see the profile settings, you're only allowed to overwrite it.

Therefore, if we were to implement profile selection it should be designed in a way where after the user picks the profile in the dropdown, any changes they make on that screen will automatically be saved without any confirmation, while also still being "attached" to any assigned applications.

I will be working in polishing it up to be what I am describing here and I'll re-submit the pull request when the time comes.

Hi,
I'm looking forward to this improvement 😍
Were you able to work on this subject?

Thanks

I ran into major problems with the code, it kept having glitches and ultimately had focused on other projects involving sunshine and moonlight. I might revisit it but not sure, as AI improves it will be much easier for me to move into mobile development but it's not there yet. Might revisit it when GPT-5 is released
