Q:

ProgressBar with a countdowntimer - Android

I have a 20 second countdown timer successfully working on my trivia game.  I want to add a ProgressBar (not a ProgressDialog) to the screen.  I found the developer guide for Android confusing.  I googled lots of examples and tried to combine them into my code.  Right now all that displays when I run a game is an empty bar with no "progress" made during each question of the game.
QuestionView.java
public class QuestionView extends Activity  {

    int correctAnswers = 0;
    int wrongAnswers = 0;
    int answer = 0;
    int i = 0;

    long score = 0;

    long startTime = 20000;
    long interval = 1000;
    long points;

    boolean timerHasStarted = false;

    String category;

    Button answer1, answer2, answer3, answer4;
    TextView question, pointCounter, questionNumber, timeCounter;

    ArrayList<Question> queries;
    Timer cdTimer;

    ProgressBar bar;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.questionviewmain);

        answer1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.answer1);
        answer2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.answer2);
        answer3 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.answer3);
        answer4 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.answer4);

        question = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.question);

        category = getIntent().getStringExtra("category");
        queries = getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra("queries");

        pointCounter = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.timer);
        questionNumber = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.timeElapsedView);
        timeCounter = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.timeCounter);

        cdTimer = new Timer(startTime, interval);

        bar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressbar);
        bar.setIndeterminate(false);
        bar.setMax(9);

        loadQuestion();
    }

    public void loadQuestion() {

            bar.setProgress(i);

        if(i == 10) {

            endQuiz();

        } else {

            if(!timerHasStarted) {
                cdTimer.start();
                timerHasStarted = true;
            } else {
                cdTimer.start();
                timerHasStarted = false;
            }

            answer = queries.get(i).getCorrectAnswer();

            question.setText(queries.get(i).getQuery());

            answer1.setText(queries.get(i).getA1());
            answer2.setText(queries.get(i).getA2());
            answer3.setText(queries.get(i).getA3());
            answer4.setText(queries.get(i).getA4());

            answer1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View arg0) {
                    queries.get(i).setSelectedAnswer(0);
                    if(answer == 0) {
                        correctAnswers++;

                }
            });

            answer2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

XML code
<ProgressBar 
                android:id="@+id/progressbar"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"

                style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal" />

A:

What I am looking for is for the ProgressBar to slowly tick down until the 20 seconds the user is allotted for each question is gone.

New Answer
To do this let's add a new line to onTick():
bar.setProgress((int) Math.round(millisUntilFinished / 1000.0));

(You may need to tweak the data types, I am away from my compiler...  Also I don't like the CountDownTimer class, it is inaccurate and often skips the second to last number.  I wrote an alternate class here: android CountDownTimer - additional milliseconds delay between ticks)

Original Answer
I have a couple pointers:

Have you defined a maximum value for your ProgressBar?
bar.setMax(9);

I suggest loading i as the progress instead of the constant value of 10:
bar.setProgress(i);

If you still do not see any progress ensure that you are not in indeterminate mode:
bar.setIndeterminate(false);

(This assume that you are using a ProgressBar that can depict progress.)

Addition
Move this code into onCreate():
bar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressbar);
bar.setIndeterminate(false); // May not be necessary
bar.setMax(9);

Then move this line to loadQuestion():
bar.setProgress(i);

Otherwise the progress will never be updated since you only create one CountDownTimer and you never actually call startCountdownTimer().
