I am trying to create a button which is only clickable after for example 3 seconds. It should display a countdown, when 0 is reached, one can click the button and an action gets performed. For example when the Activity gets called, the button displays a "3" first and counts down to "0", only then one can click on the button.
Any ideas how to achieve this?
you should use CountDownTimer
for that:
timer = new CountDownTimer( 3000, 1000 ) {
@Override public void onTick( long millisUntilFinished ) {
button.setText( "count down " + millisUntilFinished );
}
@Override public void onFinish() {
button.setOnClickListener( onClickListener );
}
};
somewhere down below:
timer.start()
