public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
 
 Button text1, text2, text3, text4;

    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        text1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.text1);
        text2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.text2);
        text3 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.text3);
        text4 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.text4);
        
        text1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    Toast.makeText(
      MainActivity.this, 
      "LENGTH_SHORT", 
      Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
   }});
        
        text2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(
      MainActivity.this, 
      "10 second - Not Work!", 
      Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    toast.setDuration(10000); //set duration, not work
    toast.show();
   }});
        
        text3.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    final Toast toast = Toast.makeText(
      MainActivity.this, 
      "10 second", 
      Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    toast.show();
    
    new CountDownTimer(10000, 1000)
             {
                 public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                  toast.show(); 
                 }
                 
                 public void onFinish() {
                  toast.cancel();
                  
                 }
             }.start();
   }});
        
        text4.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    final Toast toast = Toast.makeText(
      MainActivity.this, 
      "10 second", 
      Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    toast.show();
    
    new CountDownTimer(10000, 1000)
             {
     int count = 10;
     
                 public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                  toast.show();
                  count--;
                  toast.setText(count + " sec");
                 }
                 
                 public void onFinish() {
                  toast.cancel();
