update Ui with TimeTask in android

Question

I am running a countdown timer in android and i want to show this countdown to the user in an Activity with a TextView. How can i do this? Has any one done this before?

Answer 1

2 Methods,

First Method involves, Using a Handler. See my Answer here Its not a countdown, but it should show you how to use a Handler.

Second Method involves, Using runOnUIThread(), by running a Runnable with the implementation of your countdown.
