I am trying to get my countdown application to perform its function of updating my current TextView time and date and hide it with MyOnItemSelectedListener every second so that the application is taken into account dynamically, and not just when running onCreate. If there is a more efficient method and then quickly shoot MyOnItemSelectedListener, I would appreciate criticism.
public class TheCount extends Activity { TextView description=null; TextView dates=null; TextView times=null; TextView output=null; TextView cDateDisplay=null; TextView cTimeDisplay=null; private int mYear; private int mMonth; private int mDay; private int mHour; private int mMinute; private int mSecond; CountdownHelper helper=null; String countdownId=null; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.thecount); helper=new CountdownHelper(this); cTimeDisplay = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.lblCurTime); cDateDisplay = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.lblCurDate); final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR); mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH); mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); mHour = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY); mMinute = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE); mSecond = c.get(Calendar.SECOND); Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1); ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource( this, R.array.countoptions, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

@NamLe: This causes the application to crash and returns it to LogCat when onCreate () is called.
