How can I check the duration after I click the button

I'm new to Java and Android, I would like to set up a time counter in my ACTION_UP event and cancel the timer while I do the other events. How can I basically set up a timer for that and stop and reset the timer for other event?

For the CountDownTimer Here I've started 30 seconds of time ticker like

CountDownTimer countDownTimer;
TextView tvTicker = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvTicker);

public void startClicked(View view) { //When button start is clicked

    countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            tvTicker.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
//Do some stuff here for saving the duration to a variable or anything else as your requirements
        }

        public void onFinish() {
            tvTicker.setText("done!");
        }
    }.start();
}

Method Description

CountDownTimer(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval)

millisInFuture = Time in milliseconds

countDownInterval = Interval in millisecond

Now you can use these methods For other kind of operation.

countDownTimer.cancel(); //Cancel the countdown.
countDownTimer.onFinish() //Callback fired when the time is up.
countDownTimer.onTick(long millisUntilFinished); //Callback fired on regular `interval. millisUntilFinished is The amount of time until finished.`

Timer start time.

Set this in start timer click event.

Date startDate = new Date();
long startTime = 0;
startTime = startDate.getTime();

Store startTime in Global Variable so you can use that variable later.

Timer end time.

Set this in stop timer click event.

Date endDate = new Date();
long endTime = 0;
endTime = endDate.getTime();

Now get time difference in millisecond.

long timeDiff = endTime - startTime;

You have to try this 

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    boolean touch;
        switch(event.getAction()){
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                touch = false;
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                touch = true;
                // Code for Timer
                break;
        }
    return true;
    }

You have to write the handler inside this code and reset the handler on other events. code for handler

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            //Your Task                   
        }
    }, TIME);
