Question

CountDownTimer.cancel() is not working in the below code:

myTimer = new CountDownTimer(10000, 1000) {
    public void onFinish() {
    }
    @Override
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        if(null != myObject){
            myTimer.cancel();
        }
    }
}.start();

In the above code I have started a CountDownTimer which check if the object is not null and cancels the Timer accordingly. The object is set by some listener at any point of time.
Please refer and suggest. Am I doing the right thing here?

Just made a drop-in replacement for
CountDownTimer that you can cancel
from within onTick : Github link–
