CountDownTimer- that the user increments. Issues

I have to make an application that allows the user to increment the time by +1, for every click of the button. Then after the button stops being clicked it waits for three seconds, then starts to countdown.

I’ve been pretty stuck then realized I might be able to implement this through a java action listener where I use something like this. I posted my code, this however doesn’t work correctly – was just wondering if someone could lead me in the right direction.

Thank you

    timedisplay.setText("Time Left: " + millisUntilFinished);
    wavetimer = new myTimer (millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
    counter = 01;
    final MainActivity MainActivity = this;


    stoptime.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (!buttonClicked){
            counter++;
        } else {

            wavetimer.start();
        }

 }

    }});

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
    return true;
}

I have found a better solution for using a timer.

The way you are using it right now is wrong, check out this link:
