using millis in android?

Android Processing

I have made a sketch where I use the millis( ) function for timing and it's working perfectly in normal processing.
When I switch to android and I try it on the emulator, the sketch doesn't seem to work properly it's as if millis returns zero constantly.
Is it a known problem? If yes, is it a problem with the emulator or the android system?
Is there a workaround?
thanks in advance.

This works for me in Processing 1.5 (0196 build), Android 2.1-update1, API level 7 on both the emulator and the Nexus One:

void setup()

{

size(480,800);

fill(255);

}

void draw()

{

background(0);

text(millis(), 40, 40);

}

Same problem here, for what it's worth. Unfortunately I can't test any further because I had to borrow someone else's computer & Nexus (mine is still on Mac OS X 10.5.8, disastrously).

Is it that millis() returns a number between 0 and 1000 rather than the total-milliseconds-since-run value it usually returns in Processing?
