这很简单! 你创建了一个新的定时器。

Timer timer = new Timer();

然后扩展计时器任务

class UpdateBallTask extends TimerTask {
   Ball myBall;

   public void run() {
       //calculate the new position of myBall
   }
}

然后以一定的更新间隔将新任务添加到Timer中

final int FPS = 40;
TimerTask updateBall = new UpdateBallTask();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(updateBall, 0, 1000/FPS);

声明:这不是理想的解决方案。这是使用定时器类的解决方案(由OP要求)。在Android SDK中，建议使用Handler类(在接受的答案中有示例)。

我用这种方法:

String[] array={
       "man","for","think"
}; int j;

然后在onCreate下面

TextView t = findViewById(R.id.textView);

    new CountDownTimer(5000,1000) {

        @Override
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {}

        @Override
        public void onFinish() {
            t.setText("I "+array[j] +" You");
            j++;
            if(j== array.length-1) j=0;
            start();
        }
    }.start();

解决这个问题很简单。

好的，因为这还没有清除，有3个简单的方法来处理这个。 下面的示例显示了所有3种方法，底部的示例显示了我认为更可取的方法。还记得在onPause中清理你的任务，如有必要保存状态。

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;
import android.os.Handler.Callback;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class main extends Activity {
    TextView text, text2, text3;
    long starttime = 0;
    //this  posts a message to the main thread from our timertask
    //and updates the textfield
   final Handler h = new Handler(new Callback() {

        @Override
        public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
           long millis = System.currentTimeMillis() - starttime;
           int seconds = (int) (millis / 1000);
           int minutes = seconds / 60;
           seconds     = seconds % 60;

           text.setText(String.format("%d:%02d", minutes, seconds));
            return false;
        }
    });
   //runs without timer be reposting self
   Handler h2 = new Handler();
   Runnable run = new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
           long millis = System.currentTimeMillis() - starttime;
           int seconds = (int) (millis / 1000);
           int minutes = seconds / 60;
           seconds     = seconds % 60;

           text3.setText(String.format("%d:%02d", minutes, seconds));

           h2.postDelayed(this, 500);
        }
    };

   //tells handler to send a message
   class firstTask extends TimerTask {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            h.sendEmptyMessage(0);
        }
   };

   //tells activity to run on ui thread
   class secondTask extends TimerTask {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            main.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                   long millis = System.currentTimeMillis() - starttime;
                   int seconds = (int) (millis / 1000);
                   int minutes = seconds / 60;
                   seconds     = seconds % 60;

                   text2.setText(String.format("%d:%02d", minutes, seconds));
                }
            });
        }
   };


   Timer timer = new Timer();
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
        text2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text2);
        text3 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text3);

        Button b = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
        b.setText("start");
        b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Button b = (Button)v;
                if(b.getText().equals("stop")){
                    timer.cancel();
                    timer.purge();
                    h2.removeCallbacks(run);
                    b.setText("start");
                }else{
                    starttime = System.currentTimeMillis();
                    timer = new Timer();
                    timer.schedule(new firstTask(), 0,500);
                    timer.schedule(new secondTask(),  0,500);
                    h2.postDelayed(run, 0);
                    b.setText("stop");
                }
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        timer.cancel();
        timer.purge();
        h2.removeCallbacks(run);
        Button b = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
        b.setText("start");
    }
}

要记住的主要事情是，UI只能从主UI线程修改，所以使用处理程序或活动。

以下是我认为最好的方法。

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class TestActivity extends Activity {

    TextView timerTextView;
    long startTime = 0;

    //runs without a timer by reposting this handler at the end of the runnable
    Handler timerHandler = new Handler();
    Runnable timerRunnable = new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            long millis = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
            int seconds = (int) (millis / 1000);
            int minutes = seconds / 60;
            seconds = seconds % 60;

            timerTextView.setText(String.format("%d:%02d", minutes, seconds));

            timerHandler.postDelayed(this, 500);
        }
    };

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.test_activity);

        timerTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timerTextView);

        Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        b.setText("start");
        b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Button b = (Button) v;
                if (b.getText().equals("stop")) {
                    timerHandler.removeCallbacks(timerRunnable);
                    b.setText("start");
                } else {
                    startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
                    timerHandler.postDelayed(timerRunnable, 0);
                    b.setText("stop");
                }
            }
        });
    }

  @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        timerHandler.removeCallbacks(timerRunnable);
        Button b = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
        b.setText("start");
    }

}

您需要创建一个线程来处理更新循环，并使用它来更新文本区域。棘手的部分是只有主线程可以修改ui，所以更新循环线程需要通知主线程进行更新。这是使用处理程序完成的。

查看这个链接:http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html# 点击标题为“Example ProgressDialog with a second thread”的部分。这是一个你需要做什么的例子，除了一个进度对话框而不是一个文本框。

void method(boolean u,int max)
{
    uu=u;
    maxi=max;
    if (uu==true)
    { 
        CountDownTimer uy = new CountDownTimer(maxi, 1000) 
  {
            public void onFinish()
            {
                text.setText("Finish"); 
            }

            @Override
            public void onTick(long l) {
                String currentTimeString=DateFormat.getTimeInstance().format(new Date());
                text.setText(currentTimeString);
            }
        }.start();
    }

    else{text.setText("Stop ");
}

这里是解决方案，您需要在代码中添加以下类。您可以直接向XML文件添加视图。

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Build;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;

    private static final int DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 1000;

    private Timer timer = new Timer();
    private long endTime = 0;
    private long interval = DEFAULT_INTERVAL;
    private boolean isCanceled = false;

    public TimerTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    public TimerTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
    }

    @Override protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
        super.onDetachedFromWindow();
        stopTimer();
    }

    @Override protected void onVisibilityChanged(View changedView, int visibility) {
        super.onVisibilityChanged(changedView, visibility);
        if (VISIBLE == visibility) {
            startTimer();
        } else {
            stopTimer();
        }
    }

    public void setInterval(long interval) {
        if (interval >= 0) {
            this.interval = interval;
            stopTimer();
            startTimer();
        }
    }

    public void setEndTime(long endTime) {
        if (endTime >= 0) {
            this.endTime = endTime;
            stopTimer();
            startTimer();

        }
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
            @Override public void run() {
                if (null == getHandler()) {
                    return;
                }
                getHandler().post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override public void run() {
                        setText(getDurationBreakdown(endTime - System.currentTimeMillis()));
                    }
                });
            }
        }, 0, interval);
    }

    private void stopTimer() {
        timer.cancel();
        isCanceled = true;
    }

    private String getDurationBreakdown(long diff) {
        long millis = diff;
        if (millis < 0) {
            return "00:00:00";
        }
        long hours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis);
        millis -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toMillis(hours);
        long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis);
        millis -= TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(minutes);
        long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis);


        return String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds);
        //return "${getWithLeadZero(hours)}:${getWithLeadZero(minutes)}:${getWithLeadZero(seconds)}"
    }
}
