Thread: Reset on counter?

Hey there!

I've been experimenting with Eclipse a bit...
and I almost finished a timer
Although, I can't get the Reset button working...

});

pauseButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.pauseButton);

pauseButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {

customHandler.removeCallbacks(updateTimerThread);
}
});

resetButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

});

}
private Runnable updateTimerThread = new Runnable() {
public void run() {

timeInMilliseconds = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - startTime;
updatedTime = timeSwapBuff + timeInMilliseconds;
int secs = (int) (updatedTime / 1000);
int mins = secs / 60;
secs = secs % 60;
int milliseconds = (int) (updatedTime % 1000);
timerValue.setText("" + mins + ":"
+ String.format("%02d", secs) + ":"
+ String.format("%03d", milliseconds));
customHandler.postDelayed(this, 0);
}
public void Reset() {
Intent intent = getIntent();
overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION) ;
finish();

overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
startActivity(intent);
}

};

}

I'm very close, (at least I think I am)

I got it working on my cellphone, just the reset isn't working yet

resetButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.resetButton);
 
resetButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
        timeSwapBuff += timeInMilliseconds;
        customHandler.removeCallbacks(updateTimerThread);
    }
});

Where are you resetting the time?

Well I've tried several things, but I'm just not sure what code I should enter for it

The purpose of a reset button is a timer is to reset the time no? You could just set the TextView back to 00:00:00

Also; cross posted here. Please see The problems with cross posting.

It looks like you are declaring the startButton and pauseButton as member variables of the class, but not the resetButton so it's only scoped for the onCreate method.

Wait, hold on... It's not declared at all!! This line should be a syntax error.

pauseButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.pauseButton);

Yeah, I noticed.
I added private Button resetButton;on top. (is that what you mean?)

--- Update ---

Please just explain me what to do, I can't find any good and correct tutorial on the web for this .......

As I said in your last thread, tutorials are okay but check the Android docs. It's your primary source of information.

As I also said in your last thread, we are here to help you (which you make difficult by editing your old posts like that) .. not solve your problems for you.

What exactly is your error. What does the IDE tell you about the syntax errors? If it compiles and crashes, what does the logcat tell you?
