This change extracts the previously internal launcher "panels" (Clock, Weather, and Search) into standalone Android AppWidgets. These widgets can now be added to any launcher's home screen while still honoring the settings and data (like weather and theme preferences) managed by the Liquid Glass Launcher.

Key implementations:

  • Jetpack Glance: Used for building the widget UI in a Compose-like manner.
  • ClockWidget: Combines Glance for the date display with a native TextClock (via AndroidRemoteViews) to ensure the time ticks efficiently without constant widget updates.
  • WeatherWidget: Reads live weather data from the WeatherStateRepository.
  • SearchWidget: Provides a quick search bar that redirects to the web.
  • Shared State: All widgets load their configuration from the shared LiquidGlassSettingsRepository.

…pack Glance

- Added androidx.glance dependencies (1.1.1) to support modern AppWidget development.
- Implemented Clock, Weather, and Search widgets as standalone AppWidgets.
- ClockWidget uses a native TextClock via AndroidRemoteViews for real-time ticking.
- Widgets share settings and data with the main launcher via existing repositories.
- Registered widget providers and metadata in AndroidManifest.xml and res/xml.
- Added necessary layouts for Glance and native clock components.
