Hello, I’m newer to Glide, so I apologize in advance if this is a basic question.

I have a list of audio files that I want to “embed” in glide, so that a user can play the audio file within the app. Using the List style, I can get the list of audio files to display, but there is no “Action” option that would play the url link. The “Open Link” action opens the audio file in a new web window rather than from within the app. Is there a way to have the songs embed in the app directly using the List style?

I have a workaround by setting the style to details and individually adding audio components, which allows for embedded audio play, but I seemingly lose the abilities to sort the files by category or search. Am I missing something? Many thanks!

That’s a great idea but is not a feature yet in glide. The only thing you could do at the moment is place an audio component on the detail screen of that list.

Ok thanks for confirming! I thought I was missing something obvious. I tried creating my own custom action but of course that was a deadend. Appreciate the response!
