Here is a similar question coutndown timers in listview It has a good solution , but I need that with recyclerview

Edit:

Here is my code Adapter MyAdapter:

 public class AdapterItems extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {

private ArrayList<TopCompetitions> mListItems = new ArrayList<>();
private ImageLoader mImageLoader;
private Context context;
private Handler handler;
/******************************************/
String current_date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(new Date());
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Date d1 = null;
Date d2 = null;
long diff;
long diffSeconds;
long diffMinutes;
long diffHours;
long diffDays;

String reachableDate = "";
/******************************************/
private ScheduledFuture updateFuture;

public AdapterItems(Context context) {

    this.context = context;
    mImageLoader = AppController.getInstance().getImageLoader();

}

public void setmListItems(ArrayList<TopCompetitions> mListItems) {
    this.mListItems = mListItems;
    //update the adapter to reflect the new set of mListItems
    notifyDataSetChanged();
}


@Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {


    View itemView = LayoutInflater.
            from(parent.getContext()).
            inflate(R.layout.custom_horizontal_row, parent, false);
    return new ItemHolder(itemView);


}

Answer 1

The Simple Solution Would Be:

Handler handler=new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new UpdateTimerThread(holder),0); 

public Class UpdateTimerThread implements Runnable{
Holder holder;

    public UpdateTimerThread(Holder holder){
        this.holder=holder;
    }
    @Override
    public void run() {
        lgetCreatedTime = lgetCreatedTime + 1000;
        long diffSeconds;
        long diffMinutes;
        long diffHours;
        diffSeconds = lgetCreatedTime / 1000 % 60;
        diffMinutes = lgetCreatedTime / (60 * 1000) % 60;
        diffHours = lgetCreatedTime / (60 * 60 * 1000) % 24;
        holder.GameTimer.setText(String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", diffHours,   diffMinutes, diffSeconds));
        handler.postDelayed(this,1000);
    }
}

Note: 1.holder is the object of ViewHolder class

2.Create a class UpdateTimerThread implements Runnable

3.Convert Date and Time to long and store into lgetCreatedTime

4.Run Handler for every 1 Sec to tick the Time
