CountDownTimer Class

Schedule a countdown until a time in the future, with regular notifications on intervals along the way.

Syntax

[Android.Runtime.Register("android/os/CountDownTimer", DoNotGenerateAcw=true)]
public abstract class CountDownTimer : Java.Lang.Object

Remarks

Schedule a countdown until a time in the future, with regular notifications on intervals along the way. Example of showing a 30 second countdown in a text field:

java Example

 new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

     public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
         mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
     }

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

The calls to CountDownTimer.OnTick(long) are synchronized to this object so that one call to CountDownTimer.OnTick(long) won't ever occur before the previous callback is complete. This is only relevant when the implementation of CountDownTimer.OnTick(long) takes an amount of time to execute that is significant compared to the countdown interval.
