如果按下按钮，如何取消超时？

Question

I have a layout with some buttons, and I want after one of them is pushed to cancel the timeout, with the code that I have now I press one of the buttons and it redirects me to another activity but the timer dons't stop and after the 3 seconds it redirects me again, how do I cancel the timer if one of the buttons is pressed? This is the timer:

 int timeout = 3000; seconds Timer timer = new Timer(); timer.schedule(new TimerTask() { @Override public void run() { finish(); Intent homepage = new Intent(Act1.this, Act2.class); startActivity(homepage); } }, timeout); 

Answer 1

Check the documentation and you will find a Timer.cancel() . Keep a reference to the timer and call that whenever you want to make it stop.

void cancel()

Terminates this timer, discarding any currently scheduled tasks.

Example:

mButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        mTimer.cancel();
    }
});
