Add support for dynamicSpot about clockyou

[Bnyro]

But it'll be some refactoring to implement, but I guess that's feasible

[Myzel394]

It did not work. I'll write the developer an email asking if they provide some way to add support for it then. Thanks for your help though :D

[Myzel394]

Btw, LibreTube does work with dynamicSpot

[Bnyro]

By LibreTube, you mean its player notification?
DynamicSpot doesn't have any public details on how a notification must work that it's compatible, so I doubt we can do much here honestly.

[Myzel394]

Exactly! Here's also a video of LibreTube in action with DynamicSpot:

out.webm

I think DynamicSpot doesn't use any special method to fetch the timers, LibreTube also doesn't use any special method to tell DynamicSpot that its playing videos - I guess Clock You just needs to tell Android natively that its running a timer somehow.

[Bnyro]

Hmm, I might have an idea for that

[Bnyro]

Please test a build from 318cd69, I'm confident that worked out.

[Myzel394]

I'm sorry, but unfortunately it's still not working :/

I just realized that the Google Clock shows the timer duration (and also stopwatch btw) in real time in the notifications, while Clock You doesn't. How about we add the current remaining time (and stopwatch time) into the notification as well? Not only could this close this issue, but it's also much more useful in my opinion.

[Bnyro]

We did so before the commit. Doesn't it show in the stopwatch either?

[Bnyro]

And have you tested whether any other clock app on F-Droid works properly? (E.g. SimpleClock or https://www.f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/)

[Myzel394]

We did so before the commit. Doesn't it show in the stopwatch either?

No it doesn't. Google's Clock uses the title to show the time, maybe that could solve the issue (I also think that's better generally btw)?

[Myzel394]

@Bnyro I just tried SimpleClock and it does not work. So I guess DynamicSpot then probably has native support for Google's clock, what do you think?

[Bnyro]

Could you please try the desk clock too? It's almost the AOSP one (official one delivered by Google). If that doesn't work, there's no way we can add support for it.
