A simple countdown View for the Android framework.

CountDownView

What is it? It's a custom View that displays a simple countdown. It looks like this:

CountDownView is backed by CountDownTimer so that you don't have to worry about lifting any boxes...

It also uses Android-RobotoTextView for API levels below 11 to keep consistency.

Interested? Here's how to use it

First, specify the following in your AndroidManifest.xml. This library uses a Service to handle the CountDownTimer.

<service android:name="com.alexfu.countdownview.core.TimerService"/>

Sample layout...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <com.alexfu.countdownview.widget.CountDownView
        android:id="@+id/countdownview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</FrameLayout>

By default, the above wont show you anything. Choose to display hours or minutes or seconds or milliseconds, or all 4.

Show only hours:

<com.alexfu.countdownview.widget.CountDownView
    android:id="@+id/countdownview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    custom:showHour="true"/>

Show hours and minutes:

<com.alexfu.countdownview.widget.CountDownView
    android:id="@+id/countdownview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    custom:showHour="true"
    custom:showMin="true"/>

You can also set text colors for digits and units:

<com.alexfu.countdownview.widget.CountDownView
    android:id="@+id/countdownview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    custom:showHour="true"
    custom:showMin="true"
    custom:numberColor="@color/black"
    custom:unitColor="@color/grey"/>

In code:

CountDownView cdv = (CountDownView) findViewById(R.id.countdownview);
cdv.setInitialTime(30000); // Initial time of 30 seconds.
cdv.start();
cdv.stop();
cdv.reset();

To get notified when timer reaches zero implement TimerListener in your activity and override timerElapsed

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        ......
        .....
        cdv.setListener(this);
    }

@Override
    public void timerElapsed() {
        //Do something here
    }

TODO

• Implement an event listener when timer is done/reaches zero.
• Add support for different text sizes.
• Add more TODO items.
