Question

I’ve created a timer that will accept a specified time value from user through edittext box and pass to the CountDownTimer(). This method expect a long value thats why i converted it into long but when i add this long convertion the android emulator shows an error unfortunately stopped.And here is my code

EditText ti=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.time);
Editable i = ti.getText();
String p=i.toString();
long x=Long.parseLong(p);

final TextView mCounter1TextField=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.counter1);
final CountDownTimer Counter1 = new CountDownTimer(x, 10) {
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        mCounter1TextField.setText(" " + (millisUntilFinished)/ 1000 + ":");
    }

    public void onFinish() {  
        mp3.start ();      
        Log.d ("Splash", "LauncherActivity.onCreate - created MediaPlayer");
        cancel();
    }    
};

//Start Button1
btnstart.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Counter1.start();
    }
};

Without an error to go on, the first thing I noticed is that you aren’t catching a NumberFormatException on parseLong()

long x=0L;
try {
    x = Long.parseLong(p);
}
catch(NumberFormatException ex) {
    // TODO: error report or something
}
