How to create Java Digital clock using Swing
Below java code will create a Digital Java clock using swing components which include JButton, JFrame etc.
import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Font; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.Date; import javax.swing.UIManager; public class JavaDigitalClock extends JFrame implements Runnable{ Thread thread=null; int hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0; String timeString = ""; JButton button; JavaDigitalClock() { super("Java Digital clock Example"); try{ UIManager.setLookAndFeel ("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsClassicLookAndFeel"); } catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();} button=new JButton(); thread = new Thread(this); thread.start(); button=new JButton(); button.setBounds(50,50,00,50); button.setBackground(Color.BLACK); button.setForeground(Color.WHITE); button.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman",Font.BOLD,20)); add(button); setSize(300,400); setLocationRelativeTo(null); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setLayout(null); setVisible(true); } @Override public void run() { try { while (true) { Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); hours = calendar.get( Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY ); if ( hours > 12 ) hours -= 12; minutes = calendar.get( Calendar.MINUTE ); seconds = calendar.get( Calendar.SECOND ); SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss"); Date date = calendar.getTime(); timeString = formatter.format( date ); showTime(); thread.sleep( 1000 ); // interval given in milliseconds } } catch (Exception e) { } } public void showTime() { button.setText(timeString); } public static void main(String args[]) { new JavaDigitalClock(); } }
