How to get the time from a Chronometer? I tried getText, getFormat, getBase, etc, but none of them could work.
Example code snippet:
Chronometer t = (Chronometer)findViewById(R.id.toptime);
long time = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime()-t.getBase();
Log.d(null,"Was: "+time); //time is not the proper time for some reason - it is a random number between 0 and 50
t.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
t.start();
@nyenyec +1: here is what i ended up with, while using nyenyec's response without a sub class.
chronometer.setOnChronometerTickListener(new OnChronometerTickListener() {
@Override
public void onChronometerTick(Chronometer chronometer) {
long elapsedMillis = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - chronometer.getBase();
if(elapsedMillis>THRESHOLD){
doYourStuff();
}
}
});
where THRESHOLD is
private static final int THRESHOLD_EXERSISE = 60000; //In milliseconds
My Solution:
public void starttimer(View view){
Button mybtn = (Button) view;
if (mybtn.equals(findViewById(R.id.button1))) {
mycm.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - elapsed);
mycm.start();
}
else {
mycm.stop();
elapsed = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - mycm.getBase();
}
}
In onCreate:
mycm = (Chronometer) findViewById(R.id.chronometer1);
elapsed = 0;
There are two buttons in the layout which both call the starttimer method (start and stop)
