B4A Class TextClock

TextClock was added in API 17 (Android 4.2 Jelly Bean MR1) and substitutes the deprecated DigitalClock.

Please find attached a project that shows how to use the included Android Developers | TextClock object both as a Designer's Custom View and as a stand-alone class through its manual installation.
Having no previous experience with the Reflection lib, the above was made possible by what I believe to be one of the best tutorials read so far in this NG: @stevel05 's RatingBar library.

Looking at the code of this class you will easily agree that it is a very preliminary step and it should evolve in a more mature object once a clearer growing path would become evident from its use.

@stevel05 : I simply learned from you, magister (lat. for master).
@Erel : I always appreciate your attention and all the time you devote to support us

Frankly, this is not an object we will use so frequently, but if anyone comes with a good idea on how to improve it I'll be glad to spend some more time on it.
