Thread: counter in java

I am learning JAVA programming language and I wanted to generate a counter. In VB and VB.NET in the IDE and there is a Timer control. But I don’t to know in JAVA.I tried following:

Code:

import javax.swing.timer

If you are having any suggestions then reply me. It can helpful to me.

I suggest you to refer following example, which will give you something idea about the use of this class:

Code:

java.lang.Thread

And here is the code

Code:

try {
   Thread.sleep(time in milliseconds);
}catch(InterruptedException e){
   System.out.System.out.println("Interrupted by another thread");
}

Refer following program to Creating a counter in java:it is very helpful for you.

Code:

Public class Test {

  Public static void hand(String ... args) {
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        Public void run() { 
           / / final Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance ();
           Final DateFormat frm = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG);

           Final javax.swing.Timer tm = new javax.swing.Timer(1000, new ActionListener() {
       
             Public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
                long lg = System.currentTimeMillis();
                / / calendar.setTimeInMillis (lg);
                / / Date d = calendar.getTime ();
                / / In case of error, use commented lines instead.
                Date d = new Date(lg);
                String out = frm.frm(d);
                System.out.System.out.println(out);
             }
           });
           / / Initialize and configure but.
           Final JToggleButton but = new JToggleButton("Start");
           but.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
             Public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
                if (but.isSelected()) { 
                  but.setText("Stop");
                  tm.restart();
                }
                else { 
                  but.setText("Start");
                  tm.stop();
                }
             }
           });
           / / Initialize and show jfrm.
           JFrame jfrm = new JFrame("Test");
           jfrm.add(but);
           jfrm.setSize(500, 400);
           jfrm.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
           jfrm.setVisible(true);
        }
     });
  }
