Countdown Timer Without Stop Time
Jan 7, 2012Is there any way to define countdown timer without specifying millisInFuture. i.e to have a countdown timer which stops only when explicitly stop() function called.

View 1 RepliesAs a part of my app I would like to include a countdown timer.
I would much rather have the timer count in minutes and seconds, so any good tutorial to set such a timer up I would rather they point me in that direction first (I have looked)
My problem is that I'm getting this error when I press the button to open the activity
02-27 21:07:47.776: E/AndroidRuntime(711): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception
02-27 21:07:47.786: E/AndroidRuntime(711): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{converter.units.kitchen/converter.units.kitchen.Timer}: java.lang.NullPointerException
I currently have the following java activity
import
android.app.Activity;
import
android.os.Bundle;
import
android.os.CountDownTimer;
import
[code]....
It was working fine when I had a fixed number as the starting value, although since reverting to a fixed number it still does not work.
I've created an app that functions as a countdown timer via a thread, a wakelock, and a handler back to my activity. My question is, what will cause my thread to die, or app to not be running in memory anymore? I've had this happen once, and can't seem to recreate it again.

i did get tone picker to sort out the lacking ringtone settings etc. but when i tried to find a simple countdown app i hit a bit of a wall
from the ones i tested out, "oi countdown" and "countdown alarm" seemed to work ok up until the point the alarm rang and i couldn't shut the thing up in any other way than booting the whole phone
"snappy countdown timer" is the closest i've found for a simple app to remind you when your pizza is done, but that has the annoying issue of the ui being way too sensitive to pick a specific time (on minute-scale)
so is there a simple app to do the job of an egg timer that actually works?
One thing that really bothers me about Google Now on a mobile device is that if you say "Set a timer for 'x' minutes" it will set an alarm (vs a countdown timer) for 'x' minutes into the future. If you say the same command to Google Search on Chrome on a PC it will set a countdown timer. I would really like it if I could just say "Okay Google (Now)... Set a timer for 10 minutes" and then have it start counting down.
Does KK updates Google Now to the ability to set a timer?
Trying to create a simple 1 minute timer. I want it to start once a user hits a button (in this case the button's ID is 'Tap'), and at 00:00, I want a message to popup. I also have a reset button, when a user clicks that I want it to reset to 1:00.

I think I downloaded the "Ultimate Stopwatch" once and it didn't work well (The alarm sound was way too soft). There are dozens of timer apps, and it seems people have various problems with all of them, aside from maybe a few pay ones. But I just want something really simple. Just for timing things like cooking stuff in the oven and poker games. Any suggestions?

And the timer do it only(the one time) if i do an action( touch the display) after the time(2000) is over. U know what i mean? Maybe it have sth to do with the "OnTouchListener"?

I have a Timer which executes a TimerTask every 30 seconds. I only want the timer to launch a new TimerTask if the Activity is displayed i.e. if the user receives a phone call or launches a new activity the Timer will stop. I then need the Timer to restart when the Activity is re-launched and comes into focus.
Now this should be easy, I override the "onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus)" method and either start or stop the timer depending on the value of has Focus. The way I start the timer is to create a new Timer object and TimerTask each time and the way I stop the Timer is to call the cancel() method on the Timer object and set timer to null.
My problem is this doesn't always work, if I launch the activity which has the Timer and switch orientations quickly (to start/stop the Activity) I find the Timer is not always canceled and I end up with multiple Timers launching TimerTasks at an ever increasing rate.
I'm trying to put a timer in my code to determine the amount of time it takes to execute a block of code.
I've tried googling up some ideas, but they are all related to scheduling tasks, which is not what I want.
I want to, perhaps, place a time stamp in different parts of my code. How can I do this?
I've implemented a Service in my android app that starts a timer (using the standard java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask mechanism) to do some processing in the background on a pre-defined interval.
CODE:...
The service is started / stopped by my application like this.
CODE:..........................
As long as the phone is active (no screen-timeout occured), the service is running fine, and the Timer is performing its job at the defined interval. Even when I quit the application (using the back button), the timer remains active.
However, as soon as the phone goes into timeout, the timer task is no longer running stable. If I leave the phone in timeout for several hours (at night), I would see that on random occasions (sometimes a several hours interval) the timer kicked in.
Also, when the phone is activated again, all timer runs that have been queued are suddenly executed in one shot before resuming back to the normal interval.
What would be the right way of implementing a timer that continues to run properly, even after the phone has gone into timeout. Should I resort to using the PowerManager and WAKE_LOCKS (as described here http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html), or is there another mechanism ?
Any tip on a Ir remote app that can send signals at a specific time or by timer?
I can controll my light with infrared and it would be awesome to automatically turn the lights on at a slow pace in the morning!

I'm trying to create a basic sample Stop Watch type application which basically displays a timer. It can then be stopped and started. I'm using the mUpdateTimeTask to do this. However my app just crashed when I run it.
publicclass TimeWatch extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private Button btnStart;

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a service which runs in the background when the user starts using my app. I am using it to do some posts to our server. I always close my service by calling stopSelf as soon as the posts have been made or failed.
But I recently observed two times that my service did not stop. I saw that in the running services in settings on my device that it has been sitting there for over a few hours.
So I was trying to see if I can alternatively set a timer using which I can force the service to stop after a few minutes no matter what.
I'm new to Android and have the Nexus 4. I have a question about a music timer. I'm playing/streaming my music through Google Play Music. Is there a way to make it stop playing after a set amount of time, say 1 hour? I can't find a way to make it do that. I bought automate it pro but setting up the rules didn't quite work like I thought.

Now i've searched for this problem and usually the best solution to this is to delete any task managers installed, which I cannot because the task manager is embedded into Home++, so I'm thinking the only way to get rid of the task manager is to delete the whole Home++, correct? I'm using ADW launcher at the moment.
