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

While the solution above is valid, it can be further improved. It unnecessarily has a runnable inside another class (which can already be treated on it's own). So just create a class that extends a thread (or runnable).

    class MyTimer extends Thread {
      private long millisInFuture;
      private long countDownInterval;
      final Handler mHandler = new Handler();

      public MyTimer(long pMillisInFuture, long pCountDownInterval) {
        this.millisInFuture = pMillisInFuture;
        this.countDownInterval = pCountDownInterval;
      }

      public void run() {
        if(millisInFuture <= 0) {
          Log.v("status", "done");
        } else {
          millisInFuture -= countDownInterval;
          mHandler.postDelayed(this, countDownInterval);
        }
      }
    }
