            super(startTime, interval);
        }

        @Override
        public void onFinish() {
            Toast.makeText(context, "Time's up!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            millisLeft = millisUntilFinished;
            System.out.println("The milies left is" + millisLeft);  
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

            countDownTimer = new MalibuCountDownTimer(millisLeft, interval);
            countDownTimer.start();
    }

    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        countDownTimer.cancel();

Dialog Box Code-

 private long remaingtime, starttime = 15000;
    MyCounter timer;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.question);
    nextBtn1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answer1);
            nextBtn1.setEnabled(true);
            nextBtn1.setOnClickListener(this);
            nextBtn2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answer2);
            nextBtn2.setEnabled(true);
            nextBtn2.setOnClickListener(this);
            nextBtn3 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answer3);
            nextBtn3.setEnabled(true);
            nextBtn3.setOnClickListener(this);
            nextBtn4 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answer4);
            nextBtn4.setEnabled(true);
            nextBtn4.setOnClickListener(this);
            nextBtn5 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.quit);
            nextBtn5.setEnabled(true);
            nextBtn5.setOnClickListener(this);
    timer = new MyCounter(starttime, 1000);
    timer.start();
    }

    if(arg0.getId() == R.id.quit)
            {   
                timer.cancel();
                final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this, R.style.FullHeightDialog); 
                dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog1);
                dialog.setCancelable(true);
                //to set the message
                TextView message =(TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.tvmessagedialogtext);
                message.setText("Are you sure you want to Exit?");
                yes = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.bmessageDialogYes);
                yes.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) 
                {
                 startActivity(new Intent(QuestionActivity.this, SplashActivity.class));    
                 finish();
                }
                });

                no = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.bmessageDialogNo);
                no.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v)  
                {
                dialog.dismiss();
                timer = new MyCounter(remaingtime, 1000);
                timer.start();           
                nextBtn1.setEnabled(true);
                nextBtn2.setEnabled(true);
                nextBtn3.setEnabled(true);
                nextBtn4.setEnabled(true);
                }
                });
                dialog.show();
            }

Count Down Timer Code-

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

            @Override
            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) 
            {
                remaingtime = millisUntilFinished;
                time = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timers);
                time.setText(""+millisUntilFinished/1000);
            }

            @Override
            public void onFinish()
            {
                if(currentGame.getRound()==20)
                {
                nextBtn1.setEnabled(false);
                nextBtn2.setEnabled(false);
                nextBtn3.setEnabled(false);
                nextBtn4.setEnabled(false);
                nextBtn5.setEnabled(false);
                final Handler handle = new Handler();
                Toast.makeText(QuestionActivity.this, "Time's Up", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                Runnable delay = new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        System.exit(0);
                    }
                };
                handle.postDelayed(delay,3000);
                }

                else if(currentGame.getRound()==0)
                {
                currentGame.decrementScore();
                final Handler handle = new Handler();
                Runnable delay = new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        processScreen();
                    }
                };
                handle.postDelayed(delay,3000);
                }

                else if(currentGame.getRound()<=19)
                {
                nextBtn1.setEnabled(false);
                nextBtn2.setEnabled(false);
                nextBtn3.setEnabled(false);
                nextBtn4.setEnabled(false);
                nextBtn5.setEnabled(false);
                currentGame.decrementScore();
                final Handler handle = new Handler();
                Toast.makeText(QuestionActivity.this, "Time's Up", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                Runnable delay = new Runnable() {
                public void run() 
                {
                  processScreen();
                }
                };
            handle.postDelayed(delay,3000);
            }
         }
     }

Answer 3

Just count the seconds yourself on each tick and use them later to create a new timer.
