Hi all!
I have a problem - my Java program doesn't do what I want to. He doesn't display "downloading effect" - he waits 5 seconds and then sets text: 100% downloaded. Please help!
for(int i=0;i<101;i++)
{
t1.setText(i + "% downloaded...");
try {Thread.currentThread().sleep(50);}
catch (InterruptedException a) {
a.printStackTrace();
}}
If you call Thread.sleep in the main GUI thread (the EDT), you in effect put the whole app to sleep. If this is a Swing app, you're far better off using a Swing Timer.
OK
can you change my code that it works?
thanks
It would be much better if you read the tutorial and did it yourself: How to Use Swing Timers (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Other Swing Features) as you would learn much more in the process. Please feel free to come on back if it doesn't work, and much luck!Quote:
