Add extension callbacks for when DashClock is visible and not visible #340

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It would be great for extensions to receive callbacks that signal when the 
DashClock widget is visible and not visible. Extensions could use this 
information to start/stop any rapid updates to DashClock to keep extension 
information up-to-date as well as conserve battery life.

Possibly named onResume and onPause.

Sadly there's no way to know when the widget is visible/invisible; the widget 
framework doesn't really support this :-/ I suppose there are [unreliable] 
hacks for lock screen widgets, but nothing really for home screen widgets AFAIK.

Do home screen/lock screen widgets not receive onAttachedToWindow() and 
onDetachedToWindow() calls?

No, and either way they're not dynamically attached and detached to their host. 
Since they're RemoteViews, they have an entirely different lifecycle.
