i have a school assignment where I need to create a countdown timer to attach to a scoreboard i made. the code that is attached is a program i found that is a stopwatch and will count up. im looking to get the timer count down from 2 minutes and go:
Minutes : Seconds : Milisecond in 02:00:0 format
How would i go about doing this?
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Stopwatch extends JFrame implements ActionListener, Runnable
{
private long startTime;
private final static java.text.SimpleDateFormat timerFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("mm : ss.SSS");
private final JButton startStopButton= new JButton("Start/stop");
private Thread updater;
private boolean isRunning= false;
private final Runnable displayUpdater= new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
displayElapsedTime(System.currentTimeMillis() - Stopwatch.this.startTime);
}
};
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
if(isRunning)
{
long elapsed= System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
isRunning= false;
try
{
updater.join();
// Wait for updater to finish
}
catch(InterruptedException ie) {}
displayElapsedTime(elapsed);
// Display the end-result
}
else
{
startTime= System.currentTimeMillis();
isRunning= true;
updater= new Thread(this);
updater.start();
}
}
private void displayElapsedTime(long elapsedTime)
{
startStopButton.setText(timerFormat.format(new java.util.Date(elapsedTime)));
}
public void run()
{
try
{
while(isRunning)
{
SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(displayUpdater);
Thread.sleep(50);
}
}
catch(java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException ite)
{
ite.printStackTrace(System.err);
// Should never happen!
}
catch(InterruptedException ie) {}
// Ignore and return!
}
public Stopwatch()
{
startStopButton.addActionListener(this);
getContentPane().add(startStopButton);
setSize(100,50);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] arg)
{
new Stopwatch().addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
{
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
{
System.exit(0);
}
});
}
