Manually add an artist

[koug44]

Not sure if it's a feature request or I missed something :)

If I understand correctly, the app is scanning the phone music to «find» the artists I want to follow. But I don't have any music on my phone. I would like to add manually the artists I want to track

Well, it actually is a feature that the artists are added kind of automatically (you can hide them by long tabbing a release). But you're right, adding artists manually is an obvious use case. Just didn't have time to implement it, yet.

It's actually pretty easy,

• a service is already there.
• We would need a new Preference in the release category,
• also in the legacy one.
• Finally we need add a new Listener that implements a dialog for adding artist names and calls the service method.
• The Listener must be added to the preferences fragment and again
• also in the legacy preference activity.
• another useful extension would be to add a flag that contains the information that it was added manually to the Artist entity and the corresponding Table

Anyone interested in contributing? ;-)
