Question

Answer 1

You can check this using boolean variable.when you start chronometer you set boolean variable true and when it stop you set boolean variable false.

boolean isChronometerRunning = false;
if (true)  // condition on which you check whether it's start or stop
{
    chronometer.start();
    isChronometerRunning  = true;
}
else
{
  chronometer.stop();
  isChronometerRunning  = false;
}

Answer 2

You can extend Chronomter, like this:

import android.content.Context;
import android.os.SystemClock;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.Chronometer;

public class MyChronometer extends Chronometer {

    private boolean isRunning = false;

    public MyChronometer(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public MyChronometer(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public MyChronometer(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public void start() {
        super.start();
        isRunning = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void stop() {
        super.stop();
        isRunning = false;
    }

    public boolean isRunning() {
        return isRunning;
    }

}

And then just call isRunning().
