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

The most simple solution I came up with is as follows. Note that it only works if you need a simple screen to display with a seconds countdown.

mTimer = new CountDownTimer(5000, 100){
            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                mTimerView.setText(Long.toString(millisUntilFinished/1000));                
             }

             public void onFinish() {
                 mTimerView.setText("Expired");
             }
        };

        mTimer.start();

In the code above the onTick() is called every 100 milliseconds but visually only seconds are displayed.
