CountDownTimer does not run after binding to a service

Question

After I Bind to a service inside the

onServiceConnected()

method I start a CountDownTimer. The problem is that the timer does not start counting down. I have gone through with the debugger and sure enough it is executing the method that starts the Timer.

If I use a button to start the timer it works! What could I be doing wrong?

Answer 1

It is possible onServiceConnected() is being fired too early or something. Try calling postDelayed() on your CountDownTimer, supplying a Runnable that starts the CountDownTimer and a delay of, say, 250ms.
