        time_eplapsed = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timeElapsed);
        timer = new santimer(startTime, interval);
        text.setText(text.getText() + String.valueOf(startTime));
    }
 
    @Override

        }
    }
 
    private class santimer extends CountDownTimer {
 
        public santimer(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
            super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);

            time_eplapsed.setText("Time Elapsed: " + String.valueOf(startTime));
        }
 
        @Override
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            text.setText("Time remain:" + millisUntilFinished);
            timeElapsed = startTime - millisUntilFinished;
            time_eplapsed.setText("Time Elapsed: "
                    + String.valueOf(timeElapsed));
        }
 
    }
