java中时钟跳动,java中的动态时钟

I want to implement a clock within my program to diusplay the date and time while the program is running. I have looked into the getCurrentTime() method and Timers but none of them seem to do what I would like.

The problem is I can get the current time when the program loads but it never updates. Any suggestions on something to look into would be greatly appreciated!

What you need to do is use Swing's Timer class.

Just have it run every second and update the clock with the current time.

Timer t = new Timer(1000, updateClockAction);

t.start();

This will cause the updateClockAction to fire once a second. It will run on the EDT.

You can make the updateClockAction similar to the following:

ActionListener updateClockAction = new ActionListener() {

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

// Assumes clock is a custom component

yourClock.setTime(System.currentTimeMillis());

// OR

// Assumes clock is a JLabel

yourClock.setText(new Date().toString());

}

}

Because this updates the clock every second, the clock will be off by 999ms in a worse case scenario. To increase this to a worse case error margin of 99ms, you can increase the update frequency:

Timer t = new Timer(100, updateClockAction);
