Etc
but how can I display a countdown in this format : 2dayes : 21houres : 56 minutes : 00seconds

you should use DateFormat or SimpleDateFormat, see http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/DateFormat.html

First, you should convert your milliseconds to Date.

Date date = new Date();
date.setTime(millis);

Then you could use DateFormat to format your timestamp to human-readable string.
