I am using Android Timer for a game. I want to implement a countdown timer.
My requirement is to pause Timer on pressing home button when the activity goes into background. There is no such Timer Pause method.
How to handle the same?

One way around this is on the
onPause()method you saved the current time, then using theOnResume()create a new timer starting at the time you stored within theonPause()method.
