basically running wish, however, found if clicked trigger button while counting, trigger counting without stop previous counting. embarrassing, friend suggest me "switch" if button trigger again, , considering add actions same button stop restart counting. 1 more preferable?

disable trigger button while timer running.

that way save pain fiqure out how switch or adding other actions button after first click.

you try yourbutton.setenabled(false); make disabled.

if have understood code right, should be

countdownbutton2.setenabled(false);

to enable button again, use

countdownbutton2.setenabled(true);
