Custom Timer in Swing Program

Question

Can anyone please provide code for me to insert a custom timer into a
swing program? I need a clock that will run concurrently with the program. Any tips???

Answer 1

I have a similar problem...
Class:
import java.awt.*;
import hsa.Console;
import java.sql.Time;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class CustomTimer extends Thread implements Runnable
int secs = 0, mins = 0, hours = 0, day = 1, month = 1, year = 2006;
Time timer;
Thread main;
public CustomTimer ()
super ();
public void start ()
main = new Thread ();
main.start ();
public void run (JTextField pasteInHere)
while (year != 2008)
timer = new Time (hours, mins, secs);
secs++;
if (secs == 60)
secs = 0;
mins++;
if (mins == 60)
mins = 0;
hours++;
if (hours == 24)
hours = 0;
day++;
if (day == 28 & month == 2)
day = 0;
month++;
else if (day == 30 & (month == 2 | month == 4 | month == 6 | month == 9 | month == 11))
day = 0;
month++;
else if (day == 31)
day = 0;
month++;
if (month == 12)
month = 0;
year++;
try
main.sleep (100);
pasteInHere.setText ("" + day + "/" + month + "/" + year + " " + timer);
catch (InterruptedException ie)
Program:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ClockTest extends JFrame
public ClockTest ()
Container contents = getContentPane ();
setSize (500, 500);
JPanel hi = new JPanel ();
JTextField hello = new JTextField ();
CustomTimer ct = new CustomTimer ();
ct.run (hello);
hi.add (hello);
contents.add (hi);
public static void main (String[] args)
new ClockTest ().show ();
Can anyone tell me why the clock does not run concurrently with the program?
