Thank you for the great app. I'd like to contribute this feature because it has come in handy for me.

Summary

Adds a "Show timer on lock screen" switch under "Keep Screen On" in Timer settings. It is off by default. When enabled, the timer screen (OneActivity) is shown over the lock screen.

Why

  • Secure: a timer can stay visible during long training sessions without leaving the phone unlocked. The phone stays locked, and the timer is still visible.
  • Battery: it's easy to switch the screen off for periods where it's not needed and quickly resume without having to unlock the phone.

Add a "Show timer on lock screen" switch under "Keep Screen On"
(off by default). OneActivity applies it with setShowWhenLocked.

Oh, nevermind.
I just noticed that the "keep the screen on" feature already covers this. I though it only keeps the screen on but it actually also displays the app on the lock screen.
Great job!
