B4A Library MLStopWatch library

This is my implementation of the Android Chronometer. It includes more controls and it shows milliseconds. You will need to manually add it as shown in the included demo project.

Copy the MLStopWatch.jar and .xml files to your additional libraries directory and unzip the MLstopwatchdemo.zip to anywhere you want to use the demo project.

• MLStopWatch
  Methods:
  • BringToFront
  • GetTime As Long
    Implements a method that returns the current time, in milliseconds.
  • Initialize (EventName As String)
    Initializes the Stopwatch.
    No events are supported, so just pass ""
  • Invalidate
  • Invalidate2 (arg0 As Rect)
  • Invalidate3 (arg0 As Int, arg1 As Int, arg2 As Int, arg3 As Int)
  • IsInitialized As Boolean
  • Lap
    Record a lap at the current elapsed time.
  • Pause
    Pause the stopwatch. Does nothing If the stopwatch is not running.
  • RemoveView
  • RequestFocus As Boolean
  • Reset
    Reset the stopwatch to the initial state This clears ALL stored lap times and sets the view to 00:00.00.
  • Resume
    Resumes the stopwatch.
  • SendToBack
  • SetBackgroundImage (arg0 As Bitmap)
  • SetColorAnimated (arg0 As Int, arg1 As Int, arg2 As Int)
  • SetLayout (arg0 As Int, arg1 As Int, arg2 As Int, arg3 As Int)
  • SetLayoutAnimated (arg0 As Int, arg1 As Int, arg2 As Int, arg3 As Int, arg4 As Int)
  • SetTextColorAnimated (arg0 As Int, arg1 As Int)
  • SetTextSizeAnimated (arg0 As Int, arg1 As Float)
  • SetVisibleAnimated (arg0 As Int, arg1 As Boolean)
  • Split As String
    Returns the split time between calls to Split for times between objects.
    Split pauses the stopwatch and displays the split time. The Split function is cancelled by a call to Resume, Stop or Reset.
    Returns the split time in a formatted string as Hours:Minutes:Seconds.milliseconds. Will return 00:00.00 on the first call and the split time offset on subsequent calls.
    This method also updates the stopwatch display with the current split time. Call Resume to display the running elapsed time again.

Hi,

Is there anyway to get each lap time separately, not as a count from the start, but as a count from the last lap time?

Thanks.

Yes you can.

Like a split time? I think that can be done. I'll have a look at it over the weekend.

Sorry, I missed this part of the question, yes it does show hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

It is possible to only display seconds and milliseconds? (00.00) instead of (00:00.00)
Thanks
