This reminds me of the ringtone era, where some people made tons of money by making useless things.

They did exactly what you did after graduating and their company got acquired (acqui-hired) by Google. Timely was the number one alarm clock app at the time. It was buttery smooth and beautiful but beyond that didn’t even any special functionality.
So, don’t take the parent comment too seriously!
I think you just confirmed my comment.
I just want to add:
- It saddens me that a lot of sentiment here is about making easy money. Imho, we should not stimulate people who just graduated to write screensavers to be sold to Google.
- In a world full of distraction, these apps provide even more distraction (here they even interfere with sleep).
- The people who make these apps have skills that can be put to use in much better and interesting ways.
- This kind of news does not contribute to the "high-tech news" that I really want to read.
That said, I applaud the OP for learning the Android APIs in a creative way.
Appreciate that and thanks for your feedback.
