Start, stop, pause, and continue operations of timer and timertask in Android

The following is a demo of how to start, stop, pause, and continue the timer and timertask in Android.

There are two main issues to note:

1. timer and timertask cannot execute the schedule statement after cancel () is called to cancel. Otherwise, an error is prompted and the prompt is as follows:

2. You can only update controls/components in the main UI thread. When updating controls/components in other threads, an error is prompted. The prompt is as follows:

(Note: In this case, you can use hander to send messages to update controls/components. For more information, see the example .)
