CountDownTimer cancel () not working
I am new to android development and am trying to make a small game.
CountDownTimer.cancel()
doesn't work for me.
Any idea?
Thanks for your reply!
CountDownTimer cdt = new CountDownTimer(120000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
maxTime = (int) (millisUntilFinished / 1000);
timer.setText(String.valueOf(maxTime));
}
public void onFinish() {
}
};
if (startTimer == true) {
cdt.start();
} else {
cdt.cancel();
}

I have to make a guess right here because the code doesn't show much! apparently you are using countDownTimer
inside yours onCreate
as an inner class to start the timer when startTimer == true
and it would create an object no matter what! I think it would be better to create a global instance countDownTimer
.
And write your code like this:
if(startTimer == true) {
cdt = new CountDownTimer(120000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
maxTime = (int) (millisUntilFinished / 1000);
timer.setText(String.valueOf(maxTime));
}
public void onFinish() {
}
}.start(); //start the countdowntimer
}
else{
cdt.cancel();
}
