jak wyzwalać timer z innej klasy i jego TextView i implementację odpowiednio w innym xml i klasie?

Pracuję nad quizem na Androida i chcę mieć czasomierz na każdej stronie pytań i odpowiedzi. Mam stronę menu w moim quizie i przycisku odtwarzania, aby rozpocząć grę. I chcę, aby ten zegar był uruchamiany, gdy klikam przycisk odtwarzania. W tym celu muszę utworzyć XML TextView, który reprezentuje moją stronę menu. I implementacja w klasie QuestionActivity, która reprezentuje moją pierwszą stronę z pytaniami. publikuję również klasę WelcomeActivity, chociaż nie odgrywa ona żadnej roli w tym pytaniu.

Układ przycisku odtwarzania

<Button 
            android:text="Play" 
            android:id="@+id/playBtn"
            android:layout_width="80dip" 
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingTop="5dip" 
            android:paddingBottom="5dip"
            android:textColor="#ffffff"
            android:background="@drawable/start_button" />

Pytanie XML reprezentujące TextView dla Timera

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@+id/question"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:background="@drawable/timer_bttn" 
    android:onClick="onClick"/>

Pytanie: gdzie zaimplementowałem kod zegara

public class QuestionActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

    private Question currentQ;
    private GamePlay currentGame;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.question);
        /**
         * Configure current game and get question
         */
        currentGame = ((CYKApplication)getApplication()).getCurrentGame();
        currentQ = currentGame.getNextQuestion();
        Button nextBtn1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answer1);
        nextBtn1.setOnClickListener(this);
        Button nextBtn2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answer2);
        nextBtn2.setOnClickListener(this);
        Button nextBtn3 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answer3);
        nextBtn3.setOnClickListener(this);
        Button nextBtn4 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.answer4);
        nextBtn4.setOnClickListener(this);
        /**
         * Update the question and answer options..
         */
        setQuestions();

    }


    /**
     * Method to set the text for the question and answers from the current games
     * current question
     */
    private void setQuestions() {
        //set the question text from current question
        String question = Utility.capitalise(currentQ.getQuestion());
        TextView qText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.question);
        qText.setText(question);

        //set the available options
        List<String> answers = currentQ.getQuestionOptions();
        TextView option1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.answer1);
        option1.setText(Utility.capitalise(answers.get(0)));

        TextView option2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.answer2);
        option2.setText(Utility.capitalise(answers.get(1)));

        TextView option3 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.answer3);
        option3.setText(Utility.capitalise(answers.get(2)));

        TextView option4 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.answer4);
        option4.setText(Utility.capitalise(answers.get(3)));

        int score = currentGame.getScore();
        String scr = String.valueOf(score);
        TextView score1=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.score);
        score1.setText(scr);
    }


    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        //Log.d("Questions", "Moving to next question");
        if(!checkAnswer(arg0)) return;  

        /**
         * check if end of game
         */
        if (currentGame.isGameOver()) {
            //Log.d("Questions", "End of game! lets add up the scores..");
            //Log.d("Questions", "Questions Correct: " + currentGame.getRight());
