Android Chronometer format hh:mm without seconds

Question

I'm trying to create a chronometer in android, using android.widget.Chronometer, that displays only hours and minutes (hh:mm), but untill now I didn't find a way to make it. I don't even know if this is possible with this widget. Is this possible? If this is possible can you please show me how to do it?

Answer 1

Try this

Chronometer chronometer = (Chronometer) findViewById(R.id.chronometer);
chronometer.setOnChronometerTickListener(new Chronometer.OnChronometerTickListener() {
        public void onChronometerTick(Chronometer cArg) {
            long time = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - cArg.getBase();
            int h = (int) (time / 3600000);
            int m = (int) (time - h * 3600000) / 60000;
            cArg.setText(String.format("%02d:%02d", h, m));
        }
});
chronometer.start();
