Update TextView Every Second

Question

I\'ve looked around and nothing seems to be working from what I\'ve tried so far...

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    su         


        

Answer 1

If you want to show time on textview then better use Chronometer or TextClock

Using Chronometer:This was added in API 1. It has lot of option to customize it.

Your xml

Your activity

Chronometer mChronometer=(Chronometer) findViewById(R.id.chronometer);
mChronometer.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
mChronometer.start();

Using TextClock: This widget is introduced in API level 17. I personally like Chronometer.

Your xml

Thats it, you are done.

You can use any of these two widgets. This will make your life easy.
