Migrate to viewbinding, kotlin gradle scripts and SDK 34

[esensar]

Changes:

• regardless of updating targetSdkVersion, the foreground service notification will now be dismissable by the user. Ongoing flag will only affect dismissing with Clear all or when phone is locked
• SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM is not automatically granted anymore, but we use USE_EXACT_ALARM anyways, so we don't need to worry about it - added maxSdkVersion to SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM based on directions from https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#USE_EXACT_ALARM
• USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT is no longer automatically granted, but it is alright for alarm apps - users can manually disable this permission so we need to ask them to re-enable it
• Added foreground service type for TimerService and StopwatchService and an additional permission as well as a property explaining what the use is
• Updated to viewbinding and kotlin gradle scripts
• Updated kotlin to 1.9.0
• Updated Android Gradle Plugin to 8.1.0
• Updated androidx.lifecycle to 2.6.1
• Updated room to 2.6.0-alpha02
• Updated androidx.work to 2.8.1
• Updated kotlinx.coroutines to 1.7.3
• Updated stetho to 1.6.0

No other changes from these lists affects this app:

some texts like the tone text at the Alarm tab, Edit alarm isnt centered vertically properly. Also make it a bit higher as the Label below it is too close. Its height in Timer dialog is good, but the text of the notification audio and top timer arent centered either.

Alarm checkbox and Stopwatch sorting arrow dont change their primary colors properly on resume, it needs an app restart

I have updated these now. They should look the same and should be properly centered. Regarding the top timer, not really sure what exactly you mean. It does have more padding on the top side than the bottom, since it is the first item in the list and it has extra padding from the top side of the dialog. Do you want that to be the same as spacing to the next item?

it is about the timer label itself, not something related to other views or the dialog. The time is slightly above the center line, even compared to the icon next to it. Long press the items to see what I mean. Reminder labels still seem to be slightly higher, not centered.

should be good now, thanks

adding a new alarm doesnt refresh the list, it isnt visible. Pressing Sort at alarms sometimes doesnt show the sorting dialog.

I found the issue related to refreshing and opened a PR: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Clock/pull/494 I am not sure what is wrong with sorting, I haven't been able to reproduce it.

sorting breaks after rotating the device

Yeah, just managed to reproduce it that way. Looks like an issue in the ViewPagerAdapter. I will fix it.
