How do I set a Progress Bar to correspond with a Timer?

Question

So probably pretty easy but I can figure this out. Basically I want to set up a Progress Bar to increase by 1 for 10 seconds and then send the user to another activity. Can anyone show me how to do this?

What have you tried so far? Show us something! Google for "android timer" or, even better, for "android handler postdelayed" — SimonSays, Jul 23 '13 at 17:18
Keep a reference of the `ProgressBar` instance you want to update and `setProgress()` [when `Timer` ticks](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1877417/how-to-set-a-timer-in-android). What exactly you try? — m0skit0, Jul 23 '13 at 17:19

Since Runnable object can be reused, simplest approach is recursively call on Handler until maximum is reached, also you can count how many times you had recursive call.

mProgressBar.setMax(10);
mProgressBar.getHandler().post(new Runnable(){

            @Override
            public void run() {
                if(mProgressBar.getProgress()<mProgressBar.getMax()){
                    mProgressBarincrementProgressBy(1);// you specify the progress using this method or setProgres()
                    mProgressBar.getHandler().postDelayed(this, 1000);
                }
            }},1000);
