Answer 1

You can try using a library I created, Hourglass

Hourglass hourglass = new Hourglass(50000, 1000) {
        @Override
        public void onTimerTick(long timeRemaining) {
            // Update UI
            Toast.show(MainActivity.this, String.valueOf(timeRemaining), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onTimerFinish() {
            // Timer finished
            Toast.show(MainActivity.this, "Timer finished", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


        }
    };

Use hourglass.startTimer(); to start the timer.

It has helper methods which allow to pause and resume the timer.

hourglass.pauseTimer();

AND

hourglass.resumeTimer();
