Is this a general question about how to write an Android app? If so, what Android development have you do so far? What code have you written for the digital clock so far?

The screen shot show the digital clock being displayed on the locked-screen page, much like music being played shows up there. So is your question really about how to get your app to display on the lock screen?

The easiest would probably be to check out the source code of the android.widget.DigitalClock class. Start here: http://source.android.com/

Why would you look for "Lock Screen Display" when you're interested in the android.widget.DigitalClock class? Search for "source code android.widget.DigitalClock".

My name is Ulf, by the way. If you're more comfortable addressing me by my last name, then the polite way to do so is by prefixing it by "Mr."

Mr. Ditmer thank you for correcting me on the right way to address People when you intend to call them by their Last Name, I however did not mean any disrespect.

I Know that the place to look for digital Clock is android.widget.DigitalClock, But i do not know How to CUSTOMIZE it to make it look like the one in the Lock Page Screen any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks
