Analog Clock #2

Could you add an option for the clock to be analog?

I've thought about this, but it's a lot of work to do. Widgets cannot contain any View, only RemoteViews. RemoteViews used to allow both an analog clock and a digital clock, but the analog clock is now deprecated and it is likely to be withdrawn in a future Android version. The only way that I can think of to do it is to make the widget contain an ImageView, and replace the image every tick. This means that the Widget controller has to either contain a complete set of 43,200 images for all the possible seconds, or calculate a new View every tick.

Of course anyone who wants an analog clock is welcome to fork and write the code. I'll accept a pull request if it's done properly.
