Thanks for the info, I ended up getting everything running but I'm not to
sure if doing it the way I did will stop execution of everything else. I
just set it to loop the clock like this:
I setup the handler:
time clock = new time();
Handler hand = new Handler();
hand.postDelayed(clock, 1000);
Then I have in my runnable time I have this to loop it:
String time = ((int)vHour + ":" + (int)vMin + ":" + (int)vSec);
TextView tv = new TextView(context);
tv.setText(time);
setContentView(tv);
Handler hand = new Handler();
hand.postDelayed(this, 100);
Of course I left some code out I don't want a huge wall of text for everyone
to read, but is there a better way of doing this? It seems once the handler
is called for clock it would stop execution of the rest of the program and
would just loop for ever in the clock.
