[android] How to make a countdown timer in Android?

I have two EditTexts in XML. In one EditText, the user can put a number as minutes and in another EditText, a number as seconds. After clicking the finish button, the seconds EditText should start to countdown and update its text every second.

Additionally, how can I keep it updating until it gets to zero minutes and zero seconds?

This question is related to android timer countdown

The answer is

if you use the below code (as mentioned in accepted answer),

new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
       //here you can have your logic to set text to edittext
    }

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

}.start();

It will result in memory leak of the instance of the activity where you use this code, if you don't carefully clean up the references.

use the following code

//Declare timer
CountDownTimer cTimer = null;

//start timer function
void startTimer() {
    cTimer = new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        }
        public void onFinish() {
        }
    };
    cTimer.start();
}


//cancel timer
void cancelTimer() {
    if(cTimer!=null)
        cTimer.cancel();
}

You need to call cTtimer.cancel() whenever the onDestroy()/onDestroyView() in the owning Activity/Fragment is called.

Here's the solution I used in Kotlin

private fun startTimer()
{
    Log.d(TAG, ":startTimer: timeString = '$timeString'")

    object : CountDownTimer(TASK_SWITCH_TIMER, 250)
    {
        override fun onTick(millisUntilFinished: Long)
        {
            val secondsUntilFinished : Long = 
            Math.ceil(millisUntilFinished.toDouble()/1000).toLong()
            val timeString = "${TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(secondsUntilFinished)}:" +
                    "%02d".format(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toSeconds(secondsUntilFinished))
            Log.d(TAG, ":startTimer::CountDownTimer:millisUntilFinished = $ttlseconds")
            Log.d(TAG, ":startTimer::CountDownTimer:millisUntilFinished = $millisUntilFinished")
        }

        @SuppressLint("SetTextI18n")
        override fun onFinish()
        {
            timerTxtVw.text = "0:00"
            gameStartEndVisibility(true)
        }
    }.start()
}

Using Kotlin:

var timer = object: CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {
        override fun onTick(millisUntilFinished: Long) {
            tvTimer.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000)
        }

        override fun onFinish() {
            tvTimer.setText("done!")
        }
    }
timer.start()

just copy paste the following code........

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    text1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);

    new CountDownTimer(16069000, 1000) { // adjust the milli seconds here

        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

            text1.setText(""+String.format(FORMAT,
                    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millisUntilFinished),
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millisUntilFinished) - TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(
                    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millisUntilFinished)),
  TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millisUntilFinished) - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(
                      TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millisUntilFinished))));              
        }

        public void onFinish() {
            text1.setText("done!");
        }
     }.start();             

  }

  }

Revers CountDown timer with hours minutes and seconds

public void reverseTimer(int Seconds, final TextView tv) {

    new CountDownTimer(Seconds * 1000 + 1000, 1000) {

        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            int seconds = (int) (millisUntilFinished / 1000);

            int hours = seconds / (60 * 60);
            int tempMint = (seconds - (hours * 60 * 60));
            int minutes = tempMint / 60;
            seconds = tempMint - (minutes * 60);

            tv.setText("TIME : " + String.format("%02d", hours)
                    + ":" + String.format("%02d", minutes)
                    + ":" + String.format("%02d", seconds));
        }

        public void onFinish() {
            tv.setText("Completed");
        }
    }.start();
}

Just Call below function by passing seconds and textview object

public void reverseTimer(int Seconds,final TextView tv){

    new CountDownTimer(Seconds* 1000+1000, 1000) {

        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            int seconds = (int) (millisUntilFinished / 1000);
            int minutes = seconds / 60;
            seconds = seconds % 60;
            tv.setText("TIME : " + String.format("%02d", minutes)
                    + ":" + String.format("%02d", seconds));
        }

        public void onFinish() {
            tv.setText("Completed");
        }
    }.start();
}

Try this way:

private void startTimer() {
    startTimer = new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

            long sec = (TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millisUntilFinished) -
 TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millisUntilFinished)));

            Log.e(TAG, "onTick: "+sec );
            tv_timer.setText(String.format("( %02d SEC )", sec));
            if(sec == 1)
            {

                new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        tv_timer.setText("( 00 SEC )");
                    }
                }, 1000);
            }


        }

        public void onFinish() {
            tv_timer.setText("Timer finish");
        }
    }.start();
}

public class Scan extends AppCompatActivity {
int minute;
long min;
TextView tv_timer;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_scan2);
    tv_timer=findViewById(R.id.tv_timer);
    minute=Integer.parseInt("Your time in string form like 10");
    min= minute*60*1000;
    counter(min);
}
private void counter(long min) {
    CountDownTimer timer = new CountDownTimer(min, 1000) {
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            int seconds = (int) (millisUntilFinished / 1000) % 60;
            int minutes = (int) ((millisUntilFinished / (1000 * 60)) % 60);
            int hours = (int) ((millisUntilFinished / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24);
            tv_timer.setText(String.format("%d:%d:%d", hours, minutes, seconds));
        }
        public void onFinish() {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your time has been completed",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    };
    timer.start();
}

}

    // So we need to subtract the millis from current millis to get actual millis
    object : CountDownTimer(futureMinDate.time - System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000) {
        override fun onTick(millisUntilFinished: Long) {
            val sec = (millisUntilFinished / 1000) % 60
            val min = (millisUntilFinished / (1000 * 60)) % 60
            val hr = (millisUntilFinished / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24
            val day = ((millisUntilFinished / (1000 * 60 * 60)) / 24).toInt()
            val formattedTimeStr = if (day > 1) "$day days $hr : $min : $sec"
            else "$day day $hr : $min : $sec"
            tvFlashDealCountDownTime.text = formattedTimeStr
        }

        override fun onFinish() {
            tvFlashDealCountDownTime.text = "Done!"
        }
    }.start()

Pass a future date and convert it to millisecond.

It will work like a charm.

Output: 01:30 new CountDownTimer(90000, 1000) {

            public void onTick(long duration) {
                //tTimer.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
                //here you can have your logic to set text to edittext
                // Duration
                long Mmin = (duration / 1000) / 60;
                long Ssec = (duration / 1000) % 60;
                if (Ssec < 10) {
                    tTimer.setText("" + Mmin + ":0" + Ssec);
                } else tTimer.setText("" + Mmin + ":" + Ssec);
            }

            public void onFinish() {
                tTimer.setText("00:00");
            }

        }.start();
