Question

I have an activity that starts after a certain time. Once this activity starts, the user is supposed to press a button that starts a new timer.

However, if the user does not press the button I want a toast to be displayed every 5 minutes until the button is pressed.

I have a listener for the button:

    startBreakButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startBreakButton);
    startBreakButton.setOnClickListener(mStartListener);

I have the code for displaying the toast and everything else is working well.

I’m just not sure where to put the code I want to run before the button is clicked. Within the mStartListener code or somewhere else such as within the onCreate method?

UPDATE

 public class BreakActivity extends Activity {

Button startBreakButton; // button to start the break timer
Boolean clicked= false;
CountDownTimer counter;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.breakscreen); // sets layout to breakscreen.xml

    MyCount counter;
    counter=new MyCount(5000,1000);
    counter.start();

  startBreakButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startBreakButton);
    startBreakButton.setOnClickListener(mStartListener);

  View.OnClickListener mStartListener = new OnClickListener() { 

 clicked=true;
 //other listener code
 };

 public class MyCount extends CountDownTimer{
    public MyCount(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
    super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
    }
    @Override
    public void onFinish() {
      if(clicked==false){
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "TAKE A BREAK", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        counter= new MyCount(5000,1000);
     counter.start();
        }

    }
    @Override
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        long s1 = millisUntilFinished;

    }
    }
    };

EDIT – Above solution is not working, it needed to be clicked==false, not clicked=false!!

Try like this..

in oncreate create a acountdowntimer..

 MyCount counter;
 counter=new MyCount(300000,1000);
 counter.start();

MyCount class..

   public class MyCount extends CountDownTimer{
public MyCount(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
}
@Override
public void onFinish() {
  if(clicked=false){
  //put the toast here
    counter= new MyCount(300000,1000);
 counter.start();
    }

}
@Override
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
    s1=millisUntilFinished;



}
}
}

and in onclicklistener of startBreakButton put

clicked=true;
