```
public class TimerActivity extends Activity
{
    EditText e1;
    MyCount counter;
    Long s1;
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */ 
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        e1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        counter= new MyCount(5000,1000);
        counter.start();
    }
    public void asdf(View v)
    {
        switch(v.getId())
        {
            case R.id.button1:         counter.cancel();
            break;
            case R.id.button2:         counter= new MyCount(s1,1000);
            counter.start();
        }
    }
    public class MyCount extends CountDownTimer
    {
        public MyCount(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval)
        {
            super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
        }
        @Override     public void onFinish()
        {
            e1.setText("DONE");
        }
        @Override     public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished)
        {
            s1=millisUntilFinished;
            e1.setText("left:"+millisUntilFinished/1000);
        }
    }
}
