Why isn't onChronometerTick being called?

android, chronometer

Solution

For anyone in the future who is having trouble using chronometer for an elapsed timer/stopwatch and can't figure it out, I ended up scrapping chronometer and using CountDownTimer, but using it in such a way that it would also count up:

final long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
elapsedTimer = new CountDownTimer(activityTime + 1000, 100) {
    @Override
    public void onTick(long l) {

        long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
        elapsedTime = elapsedTime/1000;
        elapsedTimeTextView.setText(String.format("%02d", (elapsedTime)));
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinish() {

    }
}.start();

Problem

My code never enters the onChronometerTick method. What am I doing incorrectly? Do I need to set the tick time somehow? I can't figure out a way to do that. ``` elapsedTimer.setOnChronometerTickListener(new Chronometer.OnChronometerTickListener() { @Override public void onChronometerTick(Chronometer chronometer) { countUp[0] = (SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - chronometer.getBase()) / 1000; elapsedTimeDynamic.setText("" + countUp); } }); elapsedTimer.start(); ```
