I did everything i could to fix this, but never succeeded, i look around the web too, but didn’t find what i’m looking for.
So. I’m working on a stopwatch application, and i want it to show milliseconds, but i’m having trouble getting the right digest shown, cause i only want it to show centiseconds, i mean two digits, going from 00 to 99 and then 1 second has past.
When i run the app with the code below, it looks like in the emulator, that i works, (can’t quite tell, because the emulator is slow and laggy) but when i run it on my galaxy nexus 4.1.1 i get force close.
Any help will be much appreciated
Here’s the code for the milliseconds string:
milliseconds = String.valueOf((long)time);
if(milliseconds.length()==3){
milliseconds = "0"+milliseconds;
}
if(milliseconds.length()<=1){
milliseconds = "00";
}
milliseconds = milliseconds.substring(milliseconds.length()-3, milliseconds.length()-1);

I edited the code to fit my layout, but i crashes:
private void updateTimer (long time) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTimeInMillis(time);
// This will output one string in Hour:Minute:Seconds: with zeroes added
String h = String.format("%1$tH", c);
String ms = String.format("%1$tM:%1$tS", c);
// Unfortunately, theres no format specifier for centiseconds, so we'll have
// to make do with the substring of ms
String cs = String.format("%1$L").substring(0,2);
String printMe = h + ms + cs;
/* Setting the timer text to the elapsed time */
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.timerHs)).setText(h);
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.timer)).setText(ms);
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.timerMs)).setText(cs);

Thanks!!
Why are you dealing with your times in strings? this will only cause you pain and suffering 🙂 Java formatter has a much better way to deal with times:
