API

Getting Started

The DashClock API is pretty easy to get started with:

1. Add DashClock to your build.gradle:

   compile 'com.google.android.apps.dashclock:dashclock-api:+'

2. Create a new service that extends the DashClockExtension class.
3. Add the corresponding <service> tag to your AndroidManifest.xml file and add the required <intent-filter> and <meta-data> elements.

Once you have both DashClock and your custom extension installed, you should be able to add your extension in the DashClock customization screen.

Sample Code

A complete example is available in the example-extension directory.

A deeper discussion of the API, along with code snippets, is available in the DashClockExtension class reference.
