    <p>Basically I have made a countdown timer using android, the CountDownTimer class, a TextView and a button. It all works fine.</p> <p>My problem is that I want my countdown timer to change its time each time one of the countdowns has finished.</p> <p>For example: The countdown timer starts of by counting down from 5 minutes, now once that countdown has finished I want the countdown to automatically start again but from a different time say 1 minute and it continues like that.</p> <p>So it should go 5 minutes then 1 minute then say 2 minutes and then 30 seconds then stop. Here is how the time is defined already:</p> <pre><code> counter = new CountDownTimer(300000, 1000) { public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) { tv.setText(formatTime(millisUntilFinished)); } public void onFinish(){ System.out.println("Finished"); } }; </code></pre> <p>The 300000 is the milliseconds it counts down from so therefore 5 minutes and the 1000 is the countdown interval, so 1 second.</p> <p>So now the question remains: are there any ways to make it start counting down from 5 minutes then automatically start a countdown from a minute then 2 minutes then 30 seconds as an example?</p> <p>I have tried using an array so here is the code I used but the for loop was too fast.</p> <p>The array: </p> <pre><code> int[] week1day1 = {10000, 20000, 30000}; </code></pre> <p>The loop:</p> <pre><code> for (int arrayValue = -1; arrayValue &lt; week1day1.length; arrayValue++) { maxTime = week1day1[arrayValue]; counter.start(); tv.setText("Pause"); System.out.println("Array Value"); } </code></pre> <p>In the logcat "Array Value" shows up twice and in the space of about 10 milliseconds. So I think the loop is not waiting for the maxTime to count down and therefore loops straight to the end of the array.</p>

    1. COCould you post more code than just the call to the constructor? Perhaps that would make it easier to help.

    3. COThat loop wont work. If you don't need too many different count down values then you can define one CountDownTimer for each different value. Start the first count down. When it finishes so will the onFinish() method run so you can start start the next count down inside of it. Then you launch the third count down inside onFinish() of the second CountDownTimer and so on. Ugly solution though :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
