try this code -

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Field;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.FieldChangeListener;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.ButtonField;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.Dialog;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.RichTextField;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.HorizontalFieldManager;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen;

public class stopwatch extends MainScreen  
{   

    private RichTextField _chronometer;
    Timer timer;
    private int second = 0, minute = 0, hour = 0;
    private boolean _sec = false, _min = false, _hou = false;
    ButtonField record,stop;

    public stopwatch()
    {

        record=new ButtonField("Start");
        stop=new ButtonField("Stop");

        _chronometer = new RichTextField("0" + hour + ":0" + minute + ":0" + second, RichTextField.TEXT_ALIGN_HCENTER | Field.NON_FOCUSABLE);
        add(_chronometer);

        HorizontalFieldManager hfm=new HorizontalFieldManager(FIELD_HCENTER);
        record.setMargin(net.rim.device.api.system.Display.getHeight()/2,0,0,0);
        stop.setMargin(net.rim.device.api.system.Display.getHeight()/2,0,0,20);
        hfm.add(record);

        hfm.add(stop);

        add(hfm);


        FieldChangeListener listener = new FieldChangeListener() {
            public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {

                if(field==record){
                     try 
                        {

                            try {
                                timer = new Timer();
                                resetChronometer();
                                timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Chronometer(), 1000, 1000);
                            } catch (Exception e) {
                                e.printStackTrace();
                            }
                        }  
                        catch (Exception e) 
                        {
                            Dialog.alert(e.toString());
                        }
                }

                        try

                        }

                        }





                }

            }
        };
        record.setChangeListener(listener);
        stop.setChangeListener(listener);

    }
