实现原理
拿CountDownTimer的源代码看一下,并不复杂,基本上是对Handler的封装,使用send/post delay。这套机制仍然首先于Handler的原理,所以在精度上也不能够保证很精确,只能保证不会早于预期执行。详见我另外一篇介绍Handler send/post delay的文章: Handler sendMessageDelayed()/postDelayed()机制详解。

/**
* Schedule a countdown until a time in the future, with
* regular notifications on intervals along the way.
*
* Example of showing a 30 second countdown in a text field:
*
* <pre class="prettyprint">
* new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {
*
* public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
* mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
* }
*
* public void onFinish() {
* mTextField.setText("done!");
* }
* }.start();
* </pre>
*
* The calls to {@link #onTick(long)} are synchronized to this object so that
* one call to {@link #onTick(long)} won't ever occur before the previous
* callback is complete. This is only relevant when the implementation of
* {@link #onTick(long)} takes an amount of time to execute that is significant
* compared to the countdown interval.
