Answer 1

You need a CountDownTimer. Make a new object of the CountDownTimer. It takes 2 arguments, millisInFuture and countDownInterval, and has two methods that you can override, onTick() and onFinish(). You can use millisUntilFinished argument of the onTick() method to display the remaining time. The timer can be started be calling the start method and it can be stopped using the cancel method.
