title: android CountDownTimer - additional milliseconds delay between ticks
body: <p>From my observation the android CountDownTimer countDownInterval between ticks happens to be not accurate, the countDownInterval is regularly a few milliseconds longer than specified. The countDownInterval in my specific app is 1000ms, just counting down a certain amount of time with one second steps. </p>
  
  <p>Due to this prolonged ticks I end up having less ticks then wanted when the the countdowntimer runs long enough which screws up the displayed countdown of the time (a 2 second step happens on the UI level when enough additional ms have summed up)</p>
  
  <p>Looking into the source of CountDownTimer it seems possible to twist it so it corrects this unwanted inaccuracy yet I was wondering if there is already a better CountDownTimer available in the java/android world.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks buddies for any pointer ...</p>
