Question

can anybody help me here? I’m clearly doing soimething wrong and I can’t seem to figure it out myself. Basically that the doInBackground() method is not running.

This is whe entire class file and the line of code that calls it

call:

new MyTimer().execute();

file:

public class MyTimer extends AsyncTask<Object, Object, Object> { 

Timer _timerTask = new Timer();
static int totalSeconds = 1, hour = 0, min = 0, sec = 0;
static String mTimeFormat = "%02d:%02d:%02d";
static String timeTakenString;

@Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object... params) {

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

                GPSMain.printscreen();
                totalSeconds += 1;
                sec += 1;
                if(sec >= 60) {
                    sec = 0;
                    min += 1;
                    if (min >= 60) {
                        min = 0;
                        hour += 1;
                    }
                }
                timeTakenString = String.format(mTimeFormat, hour, min, sec);
                onPostExecute(timeTakenString);

            }
        };
         (_timerTask).scheduleAtFixedRate(timer,1000,1000);
        return timeTakenString;


}
 protected void onPostExecute(String timeTaken) {
    GPSMain.timer.setText("Time Taken: "+timeTaken);
}
}

try this..

public class MyAsyncTask extends Activity {

public static TextView timer;
private MyTimer asyncTask;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    asyncTask = (MyTimer) new MyTimer().execute();
    timer = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);

}

public class MyTimer extends AsyncTask<String, Object, String> {

    Timer _timerTask = new Timer();
    int totalSeconds = 1;
    int hour = 0;
    int min = 0;
    int sec = 0;
    final String mTimeFormat = "%02d:%02d:%02d";
    String timeTakenString;
    private String timeTaken;
    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

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

                MyAsyncTask.printscreen();
                totalSeconds += 1;
                sec += 1;
                if (sec >= 60) {
                    sec = 0;
                    min += 1;
                    if (min >= 60) {
                        min = 0;
                        hour += 1;
                    }
                }
                timeTakenString = String
                        .format(mTimeFormat, hour, min, sec);
                onPostExecute(timeTakenString);

            }
        };
        (_timerTask).scheduleAtFixedRate(timer, 1000, 1000);
        return timeTakenString;

    }

    protected void onPostExecute(String timeTaken) {
        this.timeTaken = timeTaken;
        Message message = new Message();
        message.what = 100;
        mHandler.sendMessage(message);
    }

    Handler mHandler = new Handler() {


        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
            if (msg.what == 100) {

                timer.setText("Time Taken: " + timeTaken);
            }
        };
    };
}

protected static void printscreen() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

}
