How can I check the duration after I click the button

I'm new to Java and Android, I would like to set up a time counter in my ACTION_UP event and cancel the timer while I do the other events. How can I basically set up a timer for that and stop and reset the timer for other event?

Solution

  • Timer start time.

    Set this in start timer click event.

    Date startDate = new Date();
long startTime = 0;
startTime = startDate.getTime();

    Store startTime in Global Variable so you can use that variable later.

    Timer end time.

    Set this in stop timer click event.

    Date endDate = new Date();
long endTime = 0;
endTime = endDate.getTime();

    Now get time difference in millisecond.

    long timeDiff = endTime - startTime;
