A Google Photos leanback experience

Supported platforms

This is currently only designed to run on Android TV. I develop locally on macOS desktop, but there's currently no Google Sign-In plugin for macOS, so you can only run the signed-out experience. It should also run fine on Android phones, but there's no home screen launcher; you authenticate via the screen saver settings, and you run it by starting the screensaver.

How to run during development

The main method in lib/main.dart can be edited to point to either settingsMain to run the settings for the app, or dream to run the screensaver.

Once you run the app, the following keyboard shortcuts in the app are useful:

1. 0 will enable a debug overlay that includes the Flutter performance overlay as well as some platform info (screen size, device pixel ratio, max heap size, available heap size, total system RAM, available system RAM, GLES version, GL vendor, GL renderer, GL version, and image cache size)
2. 8 will enable a small panel that will show the performance metrics that have been collected (via SchedulerBinding.addTimingsCallback). The metrics that drive the average times (build, raster, total frame) reset every 100 frames, but the other metrics (worst times and missed frames) persist. If you want to reset all metrics, dismiss the panel by pressing 8 again and bring it back up by pressing 8 again (every time the panel comes up, it resets the metrics that have been collected).
