Question

How do i display a countdown timer in my alert box .i want to notify the user that the session will end in 5 minutes and show a timer running in the alert pop up box in android

Answer 1

Create a Custom dialog with a TextView on it.

and update that code with the help of CountDownTimer class like this.

new CountDownTimer(300000, 1000) {

     public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
         mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
     }

     public void onFinish() {
         mTextField.setText("done!");
     }
  }.start();

you can dismiss your dialog in onFinish().
