Pause doesn't switch back to Resume when the timer switches to break

When the timer switches to break the pause/resume button stays as pause. If I click pause it changes to resume and when I click that it starts to count down and work normally. I thought it might be a problem with the clearAttemptStyles method but I can't see what would be wrong with it? I've included my controller and fxml code, any insight would be much appreciated.

I am not sure of the answer but try this. add else to handleplay method

public void 
handlePlay(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
    if (mCurrentAttempt == null) {
        handleRestart(actionEvent);
    } else {
    playTimer();
}
}

Thanks!! :)

This should work

    public void playTimer(){

      container.getStyleClass().add("playing");
        mTimeLine.play();
}

public void pauseTimer(){
          container.getStyleClass().remove("playing");

              mTimeLine.pause();
}

fxml file

   <StackPane styleClass="nested-action,play">

css file

.pause {
    visibility: hidden;
}

.playing .pause {
    visibility: visible;
}

.playing .play {
    visibility: hidden;
}
