Using chronometer in Xamarin

as the title said i'm using the chronometer with Xamarin, but here is my problem : it's impossible to set the chronometer to 00:00. I tried the method to set the base to 0 but it didn't work.

Here is my code :

Chronometer chrono = FindViewById<Chronometer>(Resource.Id.chronometer1);

void startButton(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            chrono.Visibility = Android.Views.ViewStates.Visible;
            buttonStop.Enabled = true;
            chrono.Base = 0;
            chrono.Start();
        }

But when i start the chrono it starts from the SystemClock.elapsedRealtime().

Is anyone has an idea ?

Thank you.

Solution

  • In order to start from 0, assign it the current time so the delta time is 0.

    chrono.Base = SystemClock.ElapsedRealtime();

    You can give it a start time in the elapsedRealtime() timebase, and it counts up from that, or if you don't give it a base time, it will use the time at which you call start().
