How can I pause the timer in android?

Question

I have gone through the link http://dewful.com/?tag=basic-android-timer regarding the timer application in android. It is working fine. I need to add the pause butto

Answer 1

public void time(long m){
    timer=new CountDownTimer(m, 1000) {

            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

                tv_timer.setText(formatTime(millisUntilFinished));

            }

            public void onFinish() {
                tv_timer.setText("done!");
            }

         }.start();

 }

i have used this for timer and i have put button for pause and use this

    case R.id.bT_PAUSE:
    String s_time = null;

    try{
    if(Bt_pause.getText().equals("PAUSE")){

    s_time=tv_timer.getText().toString();
    timer.cancel();
    String[] Pause_time=s_time.split(":");
    m=Long.parseLong(Pause_time[0].trim());
    n=Long.parseLong(Pause_time[1].trim());
    m=(m*60)+n;
    m=m*1000;
    Bt_pause.setText("RESUME");

    }else if(Bt_pause.getText().equals("RESUME")){
        //min_longmillis=Long.parseLong(sss);
        //min_longmillis=min_longmillis*1000*60;
        //min_longmillis=m;
        //timer.start();
        Toast.makeText(this,String.valueOf(m),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        time(m);
        Bt_pause.setText("PAUSE");
    }
    }catch(Exception e){
        Toast.makeText(this,e.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    break;

and this for format time

public String formatTime(long millis) {  
    String output = "00:00";  
    long seconds = millis / 1000;  
    long minutes = seconds / 60;  

    seconds = seconds % 60;  
    minutes = minutes % 60;  

    String sec = String.valueOf(seconds);  
    String min = String.valueOf(minutes);  

    if (seconds < 10)  
        sec = "0" + seconds;  
    if (minutes < 10)  
        min= "0" + minutes;  

    output = min + " : " + sec;  
    return output;
}//formatTime
