CountDownTimer- that the user increments. Issues

Question

I have a question about CountDownTimer. I have to make an application that allows the user to increment the time time by +1, for every click of the button. Then after the button stops being clicked it waits for three seconds, then starts to countdown.

I pasted my code below.

My Issue is: I can't seem to get the Incrementing of the number working correctly, however it seems that after I stop Incrementing the number (onStop()) it directly goes to (onFinish()). Instead of going to the OnTick() and decreasing the number by 1 every second. I have tried numerous ways to fix this, but have been stuck.

Can anyone lead me in the right direction of what to do? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you guys!
