//paste the following code inside your button method // mind you the example giving here is countdown for 60 seconds

int yoursecondsLeft = 0;

new CountDownTimer(60000, 100) { public void onTick(long milliseconds) {

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

////////////////////////This is the code that convert to real system time so that yo will have your exact seconds//////////////////////////////

     if (Math.round((float)milliseconds / 1000.0f) != yoursecondsLeft)
     {  
         syoursecondsLeft = Math.round((float)milliseconds / 1000.0f);

     }

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

     Log.i("test","ms="+milliseconds+" till finished="+yoursecondsLeft );

// You can print the count down value to your texview here: e.g tv.setText(yoursecondsLeft); }

 public void onFinish() {

/*Close your application here: you can now call this method here: finish(); to end your application */

Log.i("finish","Countdown completed");

 }

}.start();
