I have two countdown timers in my program, a longer one (120 sec) and a shorter one (3.5 sec). I want the 120 second timer to be paused whilst the 3.5 second timer is running, and for the longer timer to continue running whenever the 3.5 second timer isn't running. So the program starts with the 120 sec remaining whilst the 3.5 sec one runs, then when the 3.5 sec one runs the 120 sec one will start and only pause when the 3.5 sec one runs again (once users presses enter.) How would I do this?
final CountDownTimer loop = new CountDownTimer(3500, 1000) {
@Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
}
@Override
public void onFinish() {
number.setVisibility(View.GONE);
final TextView prompt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.prompt);
prompt.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
prompt.setText(" Enter the number");
final EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterAnswer);
input.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
input.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
switch (keyCode) {
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER:
Editable answer = input.getText();
int finalAnswer = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(answer));
int finalLoadG1 = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(number.getText()));
input.setVisibility(View.GONE);
prompt.setVisibility(View.GONE);
if (finalAnswer == finalLoadG1) {
score++;
}
number.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
if (score>=0 && score<=2){
int loadG1 = generateG1.nextInt(89999)+10000;
number.setText(""+loadG1);
}
else if (score>=3 && score<=5){
int loadG1 = generateG1.nextInt(899999)+100000;
number.setText(""+loadG1);
}
else if (score>=6 && score<=9){
int loadG1 = generateG1.nextInt(8999999)+1000000;
number.setText(""+loadG1);
}
else if (score>=10 && score<=14){
int loadG1 = generateG1.nextInt(89999999)+10000000;
number.setText(""+loadG1);
}
else if (score>=15 && score<=20){
int loadG1 = generateG1.nextInt(899999999)+100000000;
number.setText(""+loadG1);
}
else if (score>=21) {
int loadG1 = generateG1.nextInt((int) 8999999999L)+1000000000;
number.setText(""+loadG1);
}
input.getText().clear();
start();
return true;
default:
}
}
return false;
}
});
}
}.start();
new CountDownTimer(120000, 1000) {
@Override
public void onTick (long millisUntilFinished) {
}
@Override
public void onFinish() {
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.outcome);
result.setText("Score: "+ score);
TextView prompt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.prompt);
prompt.setVisibility(View.GONE);
final EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterAnswer);
input.setVisibility(View.GONE);
loop.cancel();
number.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}.start();
I have asked this before, but was not given a valid answer unfortunately. Would be grateful if anyone is capable of answering this question. Please feel free to insert any code that'll help explain your answer. Many thanks in advance.
Ok, I will try to give an example, but no guarantee that this is exactly what you need:
create a global variable and the CountDownTimer objects:
Long remainingTime = 120000L;
ThreePointFiveSecondsTimer mThreePointFiveSecondsTimer;
HundredTwentySecondsTimer mHundredTwentySecondsTimer;
create the 120 seconds timer:
public class HundredTwentySecondsTimer extends CountDownTimer {
public HundredTwentySecondsTimer(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
}
@Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
}
@Override
public void onFinish() {
}
}
create the 3.5 seconds timer:
public class ThreePointFiveSecondsTimer extends CountDownTimer {
public ThreePointFiveSecondsTimer(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
}
@Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
remainingTime = millisUntilFinished;//set the remaining time
}
@Override
public void onFinish() {
//start the 120 second countdowntimer again
mHundredTwentySecondsTimer = new MyCountDownTimer(remainingTime, 1000);
mHundredTwentySecondsTimer.start();
}
}
start the 120 second timer:
mHundredTwentySecondsTimer = new MyCountDownTimer(remainingTime, 1000);
mHundredTwentySecondsTimer.start();
Then, at any time, you decide to start the 3.5 timer:
mThreePointFiveSecondsTimer = new ThreePointFiveSecondsTimer (3500, 1000);
mThreePointFiveSecondsTimer.start();
mHundredTwentySecondsTimer.cancel();
mHundredTwentySecondsTimer = null;
That´s just the idea behind, but you have to adjust this to your needs. Sorry, but can´t give you all the stuff you need, that will be beyond the frame.
