How can I set the start time for a chronometer



I have an application that has a chronometer, I need to set the start time to a difference between to dates





How can I do that?

  1. One way of doing this is to extends the Chronometer class... something like this:

    public class MyChronometer extends Chronometer {

    public int msElapsed;
    public boolean isRunning = false;

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

    public int getMsElapsed() {
    return msElapsed;
    }

    public void setMsElapsed(int ms) {
    setBase(getBase() - ms);
    msElapsed = ms;
    }

    @Override
    public void start() {
    super.start();
    setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - msElapsed);
    isRunning = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void stop() {
    super.stop();
    if(isRunning) {
    msElapsed = (int)(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - this.getBase());
    }
    isRunning = false;
    }
    }


    You can use setMsElapsed(int ms) to specify your offset. You will probably have to convert your Dates to Long and do the math from there. The class can be used in XML layout if you specify the whole package where the class resides.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
