title: Checking if CountDownTimer is running
body: <p>Ive been looking to see a method to see if a CountDownTimer is running or not, but I cant find a way to, any help would be greatly appreciated</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (position == 0) {
  
      mCountDown = new CountDownTimer((300 * 1000), 1000) {
  
          public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
              mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: "
                      + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
          }
  
          public void onFinish() {
              mTextField.setText("0:00");
              String path = "/sdcard/Music/ZenPing.mp3";
              try {
  
                  mp.reset();
                  mp.setDataSource(path);
                  mp.prepare();
                  mp.start();
  
              } catch (IOException e) {
                  Log.v(getString(R.string.app_name),
                          e.getMessage());
              }
          }
      }.start();
  
  }
  </code></pre>
