There are three buttons in class A and class B.CheckIn,Cancel,Complete. Click on one of these buttons leads to corresponding activity in the class B.I am saving the current time in the chronometer in a database with the help of Helper class once in a minute.But I want to continue run the time even I go to the other activities. But I am getting the latest updated time while I was in the Activity.So is there is any solution to run the chronometer even I switch between the activities?? Thanks In advance!!!
