你也可以使用动画器:

int secondsToRun = 999;

ValueAnimator timer = ValueAnimator.ofInt(secondsToRun);
timer.setDuration(secondsToRun * 1000).setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
timer.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation)
        {
            int elapsedSeconds = (int) animation.getAnimatedValue();
            int minutes = elapsedSeconds / 60;
            int seconds = elapsedSeconds % 60;

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

对于那些不能依赖Chronometer的人，我从其中一个建议中创建了一个实用程序类:

public class TimerTextHelper implements Runnable {
   private final Handler handler = new Handler();
   private final TextView textView;
   private volatile long startTime;
   private volatile long elapsedTime;

   public TimerTextHelper(TextView textView) {
       this.textView = textView;
   }

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

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

       if (elapsedTime == -1) {
           handler.postDelayed(this, 500);
       }
   }

   public void start() {
       this.startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
       this.elapsedTime = -1;
       handler.post(this);
   }

   public void stop() {
       this.elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
       handler.removeCallbacks(this);
   }

   public long getElapsedTime() {
       return elapsedTime;
   }
 }

要使用..，只需这样做:

 TimerTextHelper timerTextHelper = new TimerTextHelper(textView);
 timerTextHelper.start();

…

 timerTextHelper.stop();
 long elapsedTime = timerTextHelper.getElapsedTime();

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;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class TimerTextView extends TextView {

    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();
        }
    }

    private void startTimer() {
        if (endTime == 0) {
            return;
        }
        if (isCanceled) {
            timer = new Timer();
            isCanceled = false;
        }
        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)}"
    }
}

这里有一个简单可靠的方法…

将以下代码放入Activity中，当Activity处于“恢复”状态时，tick()方法将在UI线程中每秒调用一次。当然，您可以更改tick()方法来做您想做的事情，或者更频繁地调用它。

@Override
public void onPause() {
    _handler = null;
    super.onPause();
}

private Handler _handler;

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    _handler = new Handler();
    Runnable r = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            if (_handler == _h0) {
                tick();
                _handler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
            }
        }

        private final Handler _h0 = _handler;
    };
    r.run();
}

private void tick() {
    System.out.println("Tick " + System.currentTimeMillis());
}

对于那些感兴趣的人来说，“_h0=_handler”代码是必要的，以避免在tick周期内暂停和恢复活动时同时运行两个计时器。

你也可以使用动画器:

int secondsToRun = 999;

ValueAnimator timer = ValueAnimator.ofInt(secondsToRun);
timer.setDuration(secondsToRun * 1000).setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
timer.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation)
        {
            int elapsedSeconds = (int) animation.getAnimatedValue();
            int minutes = elapsedSeconds / 60;
            int seconds = elapsedSeconds % 60;

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

我认为你可以用Rx方法来做:

 timerSubscribe = Observable.interval(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
            .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
            .subscribe(new Action1<Long>() {
                @Override
                public void call(Long aLong) {
                      //TODO do your stuff
                }
            });

然后取消这个:

timerSubscribe.unsubscribe();
