How to cancel CountdownTImer in Android kotlin?
I want to cancel the timer when user presses the back button or minimizes the app.
I have tried using cancel() on 'override fun onDestroy()' but still the timer is running.
Below is my countdown timer code
countDownTimer = object : CountDownTimer(Constants.timerDuration, 1000) {
override fun onTick(millisecondFinished: Long) {
binding?.tvTimer?.text = (millisecondFinished / 1000).toString()

Log.i("millis", "onTick: $millisecondFinished")
}...
