Answer 1

you can use

public long startTime;
startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

then later on

public long elapsedTime;
elapsedTime = ( System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime);

then to break it down

int hour = (int)((((elapsedTime/1000)/60)/60)%60);
int minutes = (int)(((elapsedTime/1000)/60)%60);
int seconds = (int)((elapsedTime/1000)%60);
