Interrupt Handler with click event

Consider following code :

 ImageView v = (ImageView)findByViewId(R.id.picture);
 // do something with v
 Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            startGame();
        }
    }, 1500);

After 1.5 seconds the method startGame() is executed. If the user wants to skip this waiting time, he should be able to click on an image to call startGame() immediately without calling startGame() after 1.5seconds again.

In order to stop your handler you need to use the following method.

handler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);

Referring to : RemoveCallBacksAndMessages

Hope it helps.
