I'm looking for a way to make the Chronometer in Android (preferably 1.6 and upwards) show 10ths of a second while counting up.

Is it possible to do this? If not, is there a free (and preferably open source) library that does the same? Failing that I'll write my own, but I'd rather use someone else's!

Android's default chronometer widget does not support millisecond formatting.

I have modified the Chronometer widget source code in order to show milliseconds. Download it from github.
