thank you
You should use handler
and pass it to MyCountDownTimer constructor
And send message
That's all you need to do :)
Here is my countdown timer:
QuestionCountdownTimer
Note: TextView remainingTimeDisplay
remainingTimeDisplay.setText(hms); I use it to display the remaining time using a TextView
Here I call the timer:
-first parameter: this - I use it for context to show Toast message
-second parameter: 10000 - total time (10 sec)
-third parameter: 1000 - countdown interval (1 sec)
-last parameter: dispaly remaining time in real time
Tested and working
Create your CountDownTimer like this:
And on your onClick just do:
to retrieve the time and set your textview text to it.
