Countdown issue while displaying days hours minutes seconds using count down timer in android
<p>I am using countdown timer in my application where i need to display upcoming date in days hours minutes and seconds left.I got the days,hours,minutes and seconds but when i set it to text view the countdown doesn't start.The below is my code.</p>

<pre><code>Date date = new Date(2013,Integer.parseInt(datess.get(k).split("-")[1])-1,Integer.parseInt(datess.get(k).split("-")[0]),hours,mins,secs);  
     long dtMili = System.currentTimeMillis();  
     Date dateNow = new Date(dtMili);  
      remain = date.getTime() - dateNow.getTime();


MyCount counter = new MyCount(remain,1000);
            counter.start();

public class MyCount extends CountDownTimer{
    public MyCount(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
        super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
        }



    @Override
    public void onFinish() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        tv3.setText("done");
    }

    @Override
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub


        tv3.setText(timeCalculate(millisUntilFinished/1000) + " Countdown");

    }
}

 public String timeCalculate(long ttime)   
   {  
     long  daysuuu,hoursuuu, minutesuuu, secondsuuu;  
     String daysT = "", restT = "";  



     daysuuu = (Math.round(ttime) / 86400);  
     hoursuuu = (Math.round(ttime) / 3600) - (daysuuu * 24);  
     minutesuuu = (Math.round(ttime) / 60) - (daysuuu * 1440) - (hoursuuu * 60);  
     secondsuuu = Math.round(ttime) % 60;  


     if(daysuuu==1) daysT = String.format("%d day ", daysuuu);  
     if(daysuuu&gt;1) daysT = String.format("%d days ", daysuuu);  

     restT = String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hoursuuu, minutesuuu, secondsuuu);  

     return daysT + restT;  
   }  
</code></pre>

<p>This is the output</p>
