I would like a countup timer, and i have nooooo idea how to make one. All of the things I've seen on the nets here are countDOWN timers, and I don't know how they work either.
Thanks in Advance, DMGCK

Well a countup/countdown timers are almost identical. The method:
returns a long type value that represents the systems time in milliseconds. So whenever your timer starts, record this value to know at what time your timer began. Something like this:
Then to tell how much time has passed since the timer started, do something like this:
System.currentTimeMillis()
long timeBegan = System.currentTimeMillis();
long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); int secondsPassed = (currentTime - timeBegan) / 1000;
that's true, I did find a countup timer to steal, (which I did) but it's still Eldritch Magic how it works to me.
