This isn't working the way I expected. However, the way I expect it to work is probably wrong. I have an application that implements a Countdown timer. When the back button on the android phone is clicked the user is navigated back to the main screen. However, the countdown timer still runs in the background. I can tell as it performs a beer at certain intervals. I thought if I implemented \[code\]onPause()\[/code\] I would be able to call \[code\]countdowntimer.cancel()\[/code\]. And it would cancel the count down timer when the user exits the activity via the back button. However, the application fails instead. I have also tried a similar approach with \[code\]onStop()\[/code\] but it just doesn't work. I don't have my code with me at the moment, it's just on my mind. Also sorry if there are any mistakes on this post, I have written it on my phone.
