how to use timer in minutes and seconds

Question

I am using a Timer in my android app.

This is what i am using,

Timer t = new Timer();
 //Set the schedule function and rate
 t.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

      public void run() 
     {
         //Called each time when 1000 milliseconds (1 second) (the period parameter)
         runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                public void run() 
                {
                    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timer);
                    tv.setText(String.valueOf(time));
                    time += 1;

                }

            });
     }

 },
 //Set how long before to start calling the TimerTask (in milliseconds)
 0,
 //Set the amount of time between each execution (in milliseconds)
 1000); 

In my code, there's only seconds as you can see But I want it in Minutes and seconds like 00:01 .

So, how to do it. Please help me.

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

An approach to obtain the String you're looking for, would look like.-

int seconds = time % 60;
int minutes = time / 60;
String stringTime = String.format("%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds);
tv.setText(stringTime);

If you need to show the results only in your second Activity , I'd recommend passing time value into args bundle, and generate the String from the activity which will display it.
