Hey, does anyone know how I can get the run time from the start of my script, and then paint it out onto the screen?

 

Help is appreciated, 

Thanks

System.currenttimemilis()

returns current syste time in miliseconds

 

So:

onstart() -> startTime = System.currenttimemilis()

onPaint() -> timeElapsed = System.currentTimeMilis() - startTime;

Then u can do

long second = (timeElapsed / 1000) % 60

long minute = (timeElapsed / (1000 * 60)) % 60

long hour = (timeElapsed / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24

System.currenttimemilis()

returns current syste time in miliseconds

 

So:

onstart() -> startTime = System.currenttimemilis()

onPaint() -> timeElapsed = System.currentTimeMilis() - startTime;

Then u can do

long second = (timeElapsed / 1000) % 60

long minute = (timeElapsed / (1000 * 60)) % 60

long hour = (timeElapsed / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24

 

Thanks a lot for that, but do you have an idea on how to put those milliseconds into hh:mm:ss? (e.g. 5:12:55, 5 hours, 12 minutes and 55 seconds)

String.format("%d:%02d:%02d", hour, minute, second);
