How to make a countdown timer in Android

Question

in my experience of two text editor installation.  In one EditText, the user can put a number as minutes and in another

EditText, a number as seconds. After clicking the finish button, the seconds EditText should start to countdown and update its text every second.

how can I keep it updating until it gets to zero minutes and zero seconds?

package com.example.countdowntimer;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.CountDownTimer;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {


      TextView text1;

 private static final String FORMAT = "%02d:%02d:%02d";

 int seconds , minutes;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    text1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);

    new CountDownTimer(16069000, 1000) { // adjust the milli seconds here

        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

            text1.setText(""+String.format(FORMAT,
                    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millisUntilFinished),
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millisUntilFinished) - TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(
                    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millisUntilFinished)),
  TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millisUntilFinished) - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(

TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millisUntilFinished))));              
        }

        public void onFinish() {
            text1.setText("done!");
        }
     }.start();             

  }

  }
