Hi guys, I'm new to Android dev. and probably this question might be silly but I haven't find a good answer by googling the web. I want to display a chronometer and two buttons (Start and Stop) in a LinearLayout view. Is it possible to specify a format different from "0:00"? I want to have a format similar to "0:00:00.0" (like format available on iPhone). Using setFormat does change the format, but I'm suspecting it's not the right way to proceed: infact you can insert what string you want (even a name...) and the system will display it, but of course clicking start or stop won't produce any effect on it. I've posted the source code.. can you help me? Thanks!!
main.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <Chronometer android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/ chronometer" android:text="Chronometer" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:textSize="32sp" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:format="0:00:00.000"></ Chronometer> <Button android:text="Start" android:id="@+id/startButton" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button> <Button android:text="Stop" android:id="@+id/stopButton" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button> </LinearLayout> class com.example.helloandroid.HelloAndroid.java package com.example.helloandroid; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.Chronometer; public class HelloAndroid extends Activity { private boolean started = false; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); this.setContentView(R.layout.main); final Chronometer chronometer = (Chronometer) this.findViewById (R.id.chronometer); Log.d("HelloAndroid", "Value of getFormat() is: "+ (chronometer.getFormat())); final Button startButton = (Button) findViewById (R.id.startButton); startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { if(!started){ Log.d("Hello Android", "start button clicked"); started = true; chronometer.start(); } } }); final Button stopButton = (Button) findViewById (R.id.stopButton); stopButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { if(started){ Log.d("Hello Android", "stop button clicked"); started = false; chronometer.stop(); } } }); } } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
