你也可以使用动画器:

int secondsToRun = 999;

ValueAnimator timer = ValueAnimator.ofInt(secondsToRun);
timer.setDuration(secondsToRun * 1000).setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
timer.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation)
        {
            int elapsedSeconds = (int) animation.getAnimatedValue();
            int minutes = elapsedSeconds / 60;
            int seconds = elapsedSeconds % 60;

            textView.setText(String.format("%d:%02d", minutes, seconds));
        }
    });
timer.start();

这里是解决方案，您需要在代码中添加以下类。您可以直接向XML文件添加视图。

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Build;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class TimerTextView extends TextView {

    private static final int DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 1000;

    private Timer timer = new Timer();
    private long endTime = 0;
    private long interval = DEFAULT_INTERVAL;
    private boolean isCanceled = false;

    public TimerTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
    }

    @Override protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
        super.onDetachedFromWindow();
        stopTimer();
    }

    @Override protected void onVisibilityChanged(View changedView, int visibility) {
        super.onVisibilityChanged(changedView, visibility);
        if (VISIBLE == visibility) {
            startTimer();
        } else {
            stopTimer();
        }
    }

    public void setInterval(long interval) {
        if (interval >= 0) {
            this.interval = interval;
            stopTimer();
            startTimer();
        }
    }

    public void setEndTime(long endTime) {
        if (endTime >= 0) {
            this.endTime = endTime;
            stopTimer();
            startTimer();
        }
    }

    private void startTimer() {
        if (endTime == 0) {
            return;
        }
        if (isCanceled) {
            timer = new Timer();
            isCanceled = false;
        }
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
            @Override public void run() {
                if (null == getHandler()) {
                    return;
                }
                getHandler().post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override public void run() {
                        setText(getDurationBreakdown(endTime - System.currentTimeMillis()));
                    }
                });
            }
        }, 0, interval);
    }

    private void stopTimer() {
        timer.cancel();
        isCanceled = true;
    }

    private String getDurationBreakdown(long diff) {
        long millis = diff;
        if (millis < 0) {
            return "00:00:00";
        }
        long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis);
        millis -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours);
        long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis);
        millis -= TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(minutes);
        long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis);


        return String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds);
        //return "${getWithLeadZero(hours)}:${getWithLeadZero(minutes)}:${getWithLeadZero(seconds)}"
    }
}

如果有人感兴趣，我开始尝试创建一个标准对象来运行在活动UI线程上。好像还行。欢迎评论。我想这是可用的布局设计器作为一个组件拖到一个活动。真不敢相信这样的东西竟然不存在。

package com.example.util.timer;

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

import android.app.Activity;

public class ActivityTimer {

    private Activity m_Activity;
    private boolean m_Enabled;
    private Timer m_Timer;
    private long m_Delay;
    private long m_Period;
    private ActivityTimerListener m_Listener;
    private ActivityTimer _self;
    private boolean m_FireOnce;

    public ActivityTimer() {
        m_Delay = 0;
        m_Period = 100;
        m_Listener = null;
        m_FireOnce = false;
        _self = this;
    }

    public boolean isEnabled() {
        return m_Enabled;
    }

    public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
        if (m_Enabled == enabled)
            return;

        // Disable any existing timer before we enable a new one
        Disable();

        if (enabled) {
            Enable();
        }
    }

    private void Enable() {
        if (m_Enabled)
            return;

        m_Enabled = true;

        m_Timer = new Timer();
        if (m_FireOnce) {
            m_Timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    OnTick();
                }
            }, m_Delay);
        } else {
            m_Timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    OnTick();
                }
            }, m_Delay, m_Period);
        }
    }

    private void Disable() {
        if (!m_Enabled)
            return;

        m_Enabled = false;

        if (m_Timer == null)
            return;

        m_Timer.cancel();
        m_Timer.purge();
        m_Timer = null;
    }

    private void OnTick() {
        if (m_Activity != null && m_Listener != null) {
            m_Activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    m_Listener.OnTimerTick(m_Activity, _self);
                }
            });
        }
        if (m_FireOnce)
            Disable();
    }

    public long getDelay() {
        return m_Delay;
    }

    public void setDelay(long delay) {
        m_Delay = delay;
    }

    public long getPeriod() {
        return m_Period;
    }

    public void setPeriod(long period) {
        if (m_Period == period)
            return;
        m_Period = period;
    }

    public Activity getActivity() {
        return m_Activity;
    }

    public void setActivity(Activity activity) {
        if (m_Activity == activity)
            return;
        m_Activity = activity;
    }

    public ActivityTimerListener getActionListener() {
        return m_Listener;
    }

    public void setActionListener(ActivityTimerListener listener) {
        m_Listener = listener;
    }

    public void start() {
        if (m_Enabled)
            return;
        Enable();
    }

    public boolean isFireOnlyOnce() {
        return m_FireOnce;
    }

    public void setFireOnlyOnce(boolean fireOnce) {
        m_FireOnce = fireOnce;
    }
}

在活动中，我有这样的onStart:

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();

    m_Timer = new ActivityTimer();
    m_Timer.setFireOnlyOnce(true);
    m_Timer.setActivity(this);
    m_Timer.setActionListener(this);
    m_Timer.setDelay(3000);
    m_Timer.start();
}

您需要创建一个线程来处理更新循环，并使用它来更新文本区域。棘手的部分是只有主线程可以修改ui，所以更新循环线程需要通知主线程进行更新。这是使用处理程序完成的。

查看这个链接:http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html# 点击标题为“Example ProgressDialog with a second thread”的部分。这是一个你需要做什么的例子，除了一个进度对话框而不是一个文本框。

import kotlin.concurrent.fixedRateTimer

val timer = fixedRateTimer("Tag", false, 1000, 2500) { /* Your code here */ }

Kotlin非常简单

因为这个问题仍然从谷歌搜索吸引了很多用户(关于Android定时器)，我想插入我的两个硬币。

首先，Timer类在Java 9中将被弃用(请阅读已接受的答案)。

官方建议的方法是使用ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor，它更有效，功能丰富，可以额外安排命令在给定延迟后运行，或定期执行。此外，它还提供了ThreadPoolExecutor的额外灵活性和功能。

下面是一个使用普通功能的示例。

创建执行器服务: final ScheduledExecutorService SCHEDULER = executors . newscheduleledthreadpool (1); 只需安排你的runnable: 最后未来< ?> future = SCHEDULER。schedule(可运行任务，长延迟，TimeUnit单元); 你现在可以使用future来取消任务或检查任务是否完成，例如: future.isDone ();

希望你会发现这对在Android中创建任务有用。

完整的例子:

ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
Future<?> sampleFutureTimer = scheduler.schedule(new Runnable(), 120, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
if (sampleFutureTimer.isDone()){
    // Do something which will save world.
}
