                Address fetchedAddress = addresses.get(0);
                StringBuilder strAddress = new StringBuilder();
                for (int i = 0; i < fetchedAddress.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {
                    strAddress.append(fetchedAddress.getAddressLine(i)).append("\n");
                }
                myAddress.setText("I am at: " + strAddress.toString());

It's very unclear what you are asking but you can get the current time in ms (from 1970) like this:

long time= System.currentTimeMillis();

If get the current time and do the actions of your choice and compare to savedinstance of the time:

long start = long time= System.currentTimeMillis();
//Do method calls
long totalTimeSinceStart = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;

how can i get the time interval in this program?
