Android: CountDownTimer skips last onTick()!

Question

Code:

public class SMH extends Activity {  

    public void onCreate(Bundle b) {  
        super.onCreate(b);  
        setContentView(R.layou         


        

Answer 1

I don't know why the last tick is not working but you can create your own timer with Runable , for example.

class MyCountDownTimer {
    private long millisInFuture;
    private long countDownInterval;
    public MyCountDownTimer(long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
            this.millisInFuture = pMillisInFuture;
            this.countDownInterval = pCountDownInterval;
        }
    public void Start() 
    {
        final Handler handler = new Handler();
        Log.v("status", "starting");
        final Runnable counter = new Runnable(){

            public void run(){
                if(millisInFuture <= 0) {
                    Log.v("status", "done");
                } else {
                    long sec = millisInFuture/1000;
                    Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain");
                    millisInFuture -= countDownInterval;
                    handler.postDelayed(this, countDownInterval);
                }
            }
        };

        handler.postDelayed(counter, countDownInterval);
    }
}

and to start it,

new MyCountDownTimer(10000, 2000).Start();

EDIT FOR GOOFY'S QUESTION

you should have a variable to hold counter status (boolean) . then you can write a Stop() method like Start().

EDIT-2 FOR GOOFY'S QUESTION

actually there is no bug on stopping counter but there is a bug on start again after stop(resume).

I'm writing a new updated full code that I had just tried and it's working. It's a basic counter that show time on screen with start and stop button.

class for counter

public class MyCountDownTimer {
    private long millisInFuture;
    private long countDownInterval;
    private boolean status;
    public MyCountDownTimer(long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
            this.millisInFuture = pMillisInFuture;
            this.countDownInterval = pCountDownInterval;
            status = false;
            Initialize();
    }

    public void Stop() {
        status = false;
    }

    public long getCurrentTime() {
        return millisInFuture;
    }

    public void Start() {
        status = true;
    }
    public void Initialize() 
    {
        final Handler handler = new Handler();
        Log.v("status", "starting");
        final Runnable counter = new Runnable(){

            public void run(){
                long sec = millisInFuture/1000;
                if(status) {
                    if(millisInFuture <= 0) {
                        Log.v("status", "done");
                    } else {
                        Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain");
                        millisInFuture -= countDownInterval;
                        handler.postDelayed(this, countDownInterval);
                    }
                } else {
                    Log.v("status", Long.toString(sec) + " seconds remain and timer has stopped!");
                    handler.postDelayed(this, countDownInterval);
                }
            }
        };

        handler.postDelayed(counter, countDownInterval);
    }
}

activity class

public class CounterActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    TextView timeText;
    Button startBut;
    Button stopBut;
    MyCountDownTimer mycounter;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        timeText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.time);
        startBut = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start);
        stopBut = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stop);
        mycounter = new MyCountDownTimer(20000, 1000);
        RefreshTimer();
    }

    public void StartTimer(View v) {
        Log.v("startbutton", "saymaya basladi");
        mycounter.Start();
    }

    public void StopTimer(View v) {
        Log.v("stopbutton", "durdu");
        mycounter.Stop();
    }

    public void RefreshTimer() 
    {
        final Handler handler = new Handler();
        final Runnable counter = new Runnable(){

            public void run(){
                timeText.setText(Long.toString(mycounter.getCurrentTime()));
                handler.postDelayed(this, 100);
            }
        };

        handler.postDelayed(counter, 100);
    }
}
