Android: Finish() Of Countdowntimer Is Called Even If Cancel() Is Called

I have used Countdown Timer like this new CountDownTimer(15000, 15) { public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) { long seconds=millisUntilFinish

Solution 1:

Inside your onClick set a Boolean (buttonPressed for example) to true.

In your onFinish check this Boolean:

if (buttonPressed == true)
{
    //do nothing
}
else
{
    //run code
}

Solution 2:

You could use Timer instead and do something like this:

privateRunnablemUpdateTimeTask=newRunnable() {
    publicvoidrun() {
        // do your updates here
        mUpdateTimeHandler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
    }
};

HandlermUpdateTimeHandler=newHandler();
mUpdateTimeHandler.postDelayed(mUpdateTimeTask, 100);

When cancelling the task:

mUpdateTimeHandler.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeTask);

Solution 3:

I also don't understand why the onFinish gets called despite calling cancel(). I guess the only workaround for this is to just null check your calls in onFinish to prevent any NPE's.

publicvoidonFinish() {
   if (nametext == null || bottombutton == null || changeText == null || ... ) {
      return;
   }
...
