различие между указателем и параметром ссылки?

Мне удалось разобраться с этим, установив переменную int для Position и вызвав ее в классе MainActivity внутри запущенного таймера. Пожалуйста, смотрите код ниже.

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    CountDownTimer questionTimer;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        btnStart = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start);
        btnStart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                setQuestions();
                timer();
            }
        });

    }//End of create()

    public void timer() {

        questionTimer = new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) {

            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                timer = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timer);
                timer.setText("Seconds Remaining:  " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);

                if (adapter.getEndQuiz() == 5) {
                    questionTimer.cancel();
                }
            }

            public void onFinish() {
                timer.setText("Done!");
            }
        }.start();

    }   

    public void setQuestions() {

        ArrayList<Questions> qArrList = new ArrayList<>();

        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            ques = new Questions();
            ques.setQuestion("");
            qArrList.add(ques);
        }
        adapter = new AdapterListView(getBaseContext(), R.layout.item_listview, qArrList);
        questListView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }   

}//End of Class
