I'm attempting to do a guessing game, of sorts. The issue is my timer bleeds into the next one after a question is answered (button pressed) and a new timer starts. This leads to two timers changing a textview at different intervals, which is not how it's supposed to be. I'd like to know how to stop my previous countdown and start a new one. Thanks! Here's my code:
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
final TextView textic = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.button1);
long total = 30000;
final CountDownTimer Count = new CountDownTimer(total, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
textic.setText("Time Left: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
}
public void onFinish() {
textic.setText("OUT OF TIME!");
finish();
}
};
Count.start();
Heven't tested the code but I would use something like this:
final TextView textic = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.button1);
final android.os.CountDownTimer Count = new android.os.CountDownTimer(total, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
textic.setText("Time Left: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
}
public void onFinish() {
textic.setText("OUT OF TIME!");
}
};
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Count.cancel();
Count.start();
}
});
