对于那些不能依赖Chronometer的人，我从其中一个建议中创建了一个实用程序类:

public class TimerTextHelper implements Runnable {
   private final Handler handler = new Handler();
   private final TextView textView;
   private volatile long startTime;
   private volatile long elapsedTime;

   public TimerTextHelper(TextView textView) {
       this.textView = textView;
   }

   @Override
   public void run() {
       long millis = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
       int seconds = (int) (millis / 1000);
       int minutes = seconds / 60;
       seconds = seconds % 60;

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

       if (elapsedTime == -1) {
           handler.postDelayed(this, 500);
       }
   }

   public void start() {
       this.startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
       this.elapsedTime = -1;
       handler.post(this);
   }

   public void stop() {
       this.elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
       handler.removeCallbacks(this);
   }

   public long getElapsedTime() {
       return elapsedTime;
   }
 }

要使用..，只需这样做:

 TimerTextHelper timerTextHelper = new TimerTextHelper(textView);
 timerTextHelper.start();

…

 timerTextHelper.stop();
 long elapsedTime = timerTextHelper.getElapsedTime();

我用这种方法:

String[] array={
       "man","for","think"
}; int j;

然后在onCreate下面

TextView t = findViewById(R.id.textView);

    new CountDownTimer(5000,1000) {

        @Override
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {}

        @Override
        public void onFinish() {
            t.setText("I "+array[j] +" You");
            j++;
            if(j== array.length-1) j=0;
            start();
        }
    }.start();

解决这个问题很简单。

这是一个定时器的简单代码:

Timer timer = new Timer();
TimerTask t = new TimerTask() {       
    @Override
    public void run() {

        System.out.println("1");
    }
};
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(t,1000,1000);

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();

他是更简单的解决方案，工作在我的应用程序。

  public class MyActivity extends Acitivity {

    TextView myTextView;
    boolean someCondition=true;

     @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.my_activity);

            myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.refreshing_field);

            //starting our task which update textview every 1000 ms
            new RefreshTask().execute();



        }

    //class which updates our textview every second

    class RefreshTask extends AsyncTask {

            @Override
            protected void onProgressUpdate(Object... values) {
                super.onProgressUpdate(values);
                String text = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis());
                myTextView.setText(text);

            }

            @Override
            protected Object doInBackground(Object... params) {
                while(someCondition) {
                    try {
                        //sleep for 1s in background...
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                        //and update textview in ui thread
                        publishProgress();
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace(); 

                };
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

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.
}
