FlipClock Android

The Android wrapper for FlipClock.

Google Play Store Page

WHY?

Fliqlo, the closed-source app for macOS has an iOS version, so I tried to make an Android version.

HOW?

First, find a phone with LCD screen. Modern phones with non-square screens use OLED, and displaying similar patterns (FlipClock is one of those) will leave permanent mark on OLED screen.

Clone this repo, then run git submodule update --init to get FlipClock, then the font symlink under assets should work, if not, run ln -s app/jni/flipclock/dists/flipclock.ttf app/src/main/assets/flipclock.ttf. Open this project with Android Studio and try to build by yourself.

When the APP started, 2 fingers touch/double tap to switch between 12/24-hour clock format, 3 fingers touch to toggle second, rotate your phone to switch between landscape and portrait, don't forget to enable your phone's auto-rotate option.

Java shim was taken directly from SDL2's android-project subdir and I won't modify them to keep consistnt with upstream.

The original FlipClock was used as a git submodule here to keep code clean, because we need to build SDL2 and SDL2_ttf's source inside this project (that's bad, but it's the only way).

The original FlipClock uses Meson, but we cannot use Meson when building Android APP. So I just write some Android.mk files for building.

Wanna an iOS version? Just buy your closed-source Tesla! I am not interested in users of closed-source systems. Paying extra thousands of dollars (for buying a Mac) to gain the right for developing apps for my own mobile device is ridiculous.

LICENSE

Code taken directly from SDL2 and SDL2_ttf should keep the same License with SDL2 and SDL2_ttf.

Code modified by myself should use Apache-2.0.
