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

So I think I went a little over board because my timer runs in its own thread instead of using postDelay handlers, though it always posts back to the thread it was created in. I also knew that I only cared about seconds so its simplified around that idea. It also lets you cancel it and restart it. I do not have pausing built in because that's not in my needs.

/**

public SecondCountDownTimer(int secondsToCountDown) {
    seconds = secondsToCountDown;
    handler = new Handler();
    timer = new TimerThread(secondsToCountDown);

/** This will cancel your current timer and start a new one.
