App Stops when using countdown timer

Question

I'm working on an a Quiz App which has five fragments and every fragment has one Question in it. Fragments move in two ways.

When user clicks on an option then the next fragment appears Immediately.
I've a countdown timer that if user does not click on any option then after 10 seconds the fragment is moved to new fragment.

I've implemented the click functions. when user clicks on the option app takes it to the next fragment but if in that next fragment user clicks no option then app stops Immediately. Kindly have a look on this, I'm sharing code.

You will need to cancel the timer before you replace the fragment on click.

When you create a new instance of CountDownTimer in onCreate method assign it to a variable for e.g.

CountDownTimer timer = new CountDownTimer(10000, 1000) {...};
timer.start();

And then in onClick method i.e. when user clicks any option stop the timer for e.g.

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
    case R.id.btnNext:

        // Add this line to avoid crash
        timer.cancel();

        frag = new FragmentQuestion2();
        FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fm.beginTransaction();

        fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container,frag);

        fragmentTransaction.commit();

        break;
}
