Question for Displaying time

[siva_vs_siva]

how to display the time continuously....
i am using timer.. but it sometime doesn't work and throws the Timer-0 exception. how to solve this problem and how can i achieve in another way.. my code is..

new Timer().schedule(new datedisplay(),0,1000);

//class

class datedisplay extends TimerTask
{
public void run()
{
java.util.Date time=new java.util.Date();
System.out.println(time.getHours()+":"+time.getMin utes()+":"+time.getSeconds());

}
}

There is no Timer-0 exception, Timer-0 is the thread name! Please give use the full stacktrace!
btw: The methods which you are invoke are deprecated, read the API doc of Date

Here's the best I could muster in a few minutes:

EDIT: Method is deprecated, use only for reference or to get better ideas:

class NewClass
{
	public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException
	{
		boolean done = false; // Variable used for infinite loop
		while(done == false) // done will always be false so keep looping.
		{
			Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000); // 1 second in between updated times.
			java.util.Date time = new java.util.Date();
			System.out.println(time.getHours() + ":" + 
					   time.getMinutes() + ":" + 
				           time.getSeconds());
		}
	}	
}

It's pretty much what you had before, I just added an infinite loop and a wait time of 1 second before each updated time. I put comments in the code that you can read. Hope this helps. I got information on sleep() from here: How to use sleep() method

Josh, did you miss eRaaaa 's remark about deprecated methods?

Siva, don't use Josh's code. Take a look at java.util.Calendar / GregorianCalendar where you'll find a method that's not deprecated.

Yes, I did, thanks. I made a little edit.

can you tell about deprecated methods?

but GregorianCalendar also doesn't allow
