The way that I have my current application set up is that when you press the button then the app displays a counter on the bottom that goes up to ten then stops and then it displays a counter on the top that goes from 10 to 0. However, what I need to do is make these counters happen at the same time. I tried using threads but I think that I must not have been doing it right. Any help would be appreciated.

edit: I want to run mytask and mytask1 at the same time, they currently run after each other

edit2: I was asked for the code for publish progress

protected final void publishProgress(Progress... values) 
 if (!isCancelled()) 
 getHandler().obtainMessage(MESSAGE_POST_PROGRESS,
 new AsyncTaskResult<Progress>(this, values)).sendToTarget();
 
 

Code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity 

Button btn;
TextView txt;
Integer count =1;
Integer count1 =10;
TextView txt1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 //p
 //p
 btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
 btn.setText("Start");
 txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
 txt1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
 View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener()
 public void onClick(View view)
 count =1;
 //p
 //p
 switch (view.getId())
 case R.id.button:
 new MyTask().execute(10);
 new MyTask1().execute(0);
 break;
 
 
 ;
 btn.setOnClickListener(listener);




class MyTask extends AsyncTask<Integer, Integer, String> 
 @Override
 protected String doInBackground(Integer... params) 
 for (; count <= params[0]; count++) 
 try 
 Thread.sleep(1000);
 publishProgress(count);
 catch (InterruptedException e) 
 e.printStackTrace();
 
 
 return "Task Completed.";
 
 @Override
 protected void onPostExecute(String result) 
 txt.setText(result);
 btn.setText("Restart");
 
 @Override
 protected void onPreExecute() 
 txt.setText("Task Starting...");
 
 @Override
 protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) 
 txt.setText("BackGround Task Running..."+ values[0]);
 


class MyTask1 extends AsyncTask<Integer, Integer, String> 
 @Override
 protected String doInBackground(Integer... params) 
 for (; count1 >= params[0]; count1--) 
 try 
 Thread.sleep(1000);
 publishProgress(count1);
 catch (InterruptedException e) 
 e.printStackTrace();
 
 
 return "Task Completed.";
 
 @Override
 protected void onPostExecute(String result) 
 txt1.setText(result);
 btn.setText("Restart");
 
 @Override
 protected void onPreExecute() 
 txt1.setText("Task Starting...");
 
 @Override
 protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) 
 txt1.setText("Countdown "+ values[0]);
 

AsyncTasks are executed on a single thread according to documentation, so that might be the issue.
