Remarks

Schedule a countdown until a time in the future, with regular notifications on intervals along the way.

Example of showing a 30 second countdown in a text field:

<div> <div class="ds-selector-tabs"><section><h3 id="kotlin">Kotlin</h3>

object : CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

                override fun onTick(millisUntilFinished: Long) {
                    mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000)
                }

                override fun onFinish() {
                    mTextField.setText("done!")
                }
            }.start()

</section><section><h3 id="java">Java</h3>

new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

                public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                    mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
                }

                public void onFinish() {
                    mTextField.setText("done!");
                }
            }.start();

</section></div></div>

The calls to #onTick(long) are synchronized to this object so that one call to #onTick(long) won't ever occur before the previous callback is complete. This is only relevant when the implementation of #onTick(long) takes an amount of time to execute that is significant compared to the countdown interval.
