I have to make a countdown program which also shows the tenths of a second;
for example from a 10.0 second countdown, it should display 9.9s, 9.8s, ... 0.0s
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
timer.start();
timer2.start();
}
Double timeLeft=5000; //5 seconds
Timer timer=new Timer(1,countDown);
Timer timer2=new Timer(1000,countDown2);
ActionListener countDown=new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
timeLeft--;
SimpleDateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss:S");
jLabel1.setText(df.format(timeLeft));
if(timeLeft<=0)
{
timer.stop();
}
}
};
what happens is it's taking more than 5 seconds to finish the 5 seconds.
I compared the code above with another Timer
int timeLeft2=5;
ActionListener countDown2=new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
timeLeft2--;
jLabel2.setText(String.valueOf(timeLeft2));
if(timeLeft2<=0)
{
time2.stop();
}
}
};
is it natural that they don't get the same?

Updating the label probably takes more that 1ms, which is why it can't keep up. If you only need to display tenths of a second, simply have your timer update less often.
ActionListener countDown=new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
timeLeft -= 100;
SimpleDateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss:S");
jLabel1.setText(df.format(timeLeft));
if(timeLeft<=0)
{
timer.stop();
}
}
};
Timer timer=new Timer(100, countdown);
