handler paused when my phone standby.
I'll switch to AlarmManager instead according to your suggestions.
Hi guys thx for your help, been playing around with it and I tried setting
up a service which works, but this will run in the background all the time
so if I use an alarm manager how accurate is it can you set one for say 30
seconds time, or is it still bad to use a service even though all its
Paul,
You don't need a Service or a Handler to handle events from Alarm
Manager - just a Broadcast Receiver. It's even better, in that Android
guarantees to hold a wake lock for the duration of your receiver's
onReceive.

Just tried that bvut dose the same thing, although I have used
countdownTimer in a custom TextView that I wrote so I could have a countdown
timer for the UI and this dose not pause. I might look into to transfering
the other timer bits to the text view and use that as a all in one timer
solution
You don't need to try around with different things, the behavior is very
well defined: if you are not holding a wake lock, the CPU is allowed to go
to full sleep, so no code can be executed until an external event wakes it
up. A thread sitting there waiting on a timer is never an external event.
You may want to look at CountDownTime also. It seems to work fine
(even when the Screen goes off).
I took the following from the web:
public class MyCount extends CountDownTimer {
public MyCount(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
super(millisInFuture,
