All Implemented Interfaces:

android.os.Parcelable
```
public class Timer
extends java.lang.Object
implements android.os.Parcelable
```
A timer instance that can be started, marked interactive, and ended.
Timers maintain the start, interactive, and end times in milliseconds. They also maintain a map of attributes for the timer such as page name, brand value, campaign name, AB test, etc.

Additional attributes beyond the ones defined below can be set on a timer as well.
