Re: [android-developers] CountDownTimer too slow ???

The calls to onTick are synchronized, maybe your code is taking more than a second to execute. Log can be expensive, and with debug symbols enabled your code will run a little bit slower than in real life.

Or maybe the end of times is close!! :P

Run the following code in the emulator and start a chronometer at the
same time :

// log some text each second :
CountDownTimer countDown = new CountDownTimer(Integer.MAX_VALUE, 1000)
{
               private int i = 0;
               @Override
               public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                               Log.i("####", "###" + i);
                               i++;
               }
               @Override
               public void onFinish() {}
};

countDown.start();

Then wait a few minutes.
For example I stop when my chronometer was at 7min44s. The value in
the log was 448seconds => 7min28s.

WTF ?!???
