Need help with sound after countdown

[elbert.dewet@yahoo.com]

Hey guys I am bussy makeing a countdown timer. Well I have the timer sorted out but now I want a sound to play when the time reaches 00:00. This is a code I got on another website. It works there but not when I put into my program.
This is what I have thus far.

if ("jLabel1"=="00:00")
{
throws Exception

String clip = "C:/Users/Th3L3gend/Desktop/alr.vaw";

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(clip);

AudioStream audio = new AudioStream(in);
AudioPlayer.player.start(audio);
}

At the if statement there is a measage that says "Comparing String using ==" how do I fix that?
And also when i run it says the file cannot be found "C:/Users/Th3L3gend/Desktop/alr.vaw";

There is a picture of what the programs looks like when it runs.

When would that if statement ever evaluate to true? You're comparing two obviously different Strings. Is that a typo?

Don't use == when comparing Strings. Use the equals() method. Do a search on google or on these forums for a fuller explanation of why.

Is the file located at that location? Is everything spelled correctly, including capitalization?

Yeah I have made sure like 30 times i even copied the adress from the adress bar. I'll check out the eqaulsTo method thanx

Yea, it looks like you are trying to get the text value of jLabel1, but you are comparing the literal value of "jLabel1" to "00:00", which as stated, will not evaluate to true. Two things to consider:

-use the .equals() method when comparing strings
-you need to extract the text value from jLabel1, and not compare the jLabel itself to "00:00"

So I have checked out the equals() method. But stil the same problem. I have ediit it a little more. Now it says incompatible tipes. This is my new code.
String sr = "00:00";

if ((jLabel1).equals(sr))
{
{

String clip = "C:/Users/Th3L3gend/Desktop/alr.vaw";

InputStream in = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(clip);
} catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Countdown.class.getName()).log(Le vel.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

AudioStream audio = null;
try {
audio = new AudioStream(in);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Countdown.class.getName()).log(Le vel.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
AudioPlayer.player.start(audio);

}
}

here is the code to update the diplayed time on the clock. How will I connect the two?

protected void process(List<String> times) {
String lastTime = times.get(times.size()-1);
jLabel1.setText(lastTime);

[sehudson]

You are comparing an object of type JLabel(jLabel1) to an object of type String(sr).
You need to get the text value of jLabel1, and compare that value to sr.

it says incompatible tipes.

Hey thanx for advice I've found the problem works like a charm!

[elbert.dewet@yahoo.com]

Haha so I've run into another problem. The sound plays and everything. But the main idee is to run this program on more than one pc. And in this codeing the path is specificaly for my pc. So how would I change the path so that it will run the sound from the folder the program is saved. I've pasted the .wav file into the same folder as the main project. And another thing is im useing exe4j program to make it a .exe file for windows. If I am able to fix the adress code will it be fine after converting it?

this is my codeing for the runnning of the sound. It works for the moment.

protected void process(List<String> times) {
String lastTime = times.get(times.size()-1);
jLabel1.setText(lastTime); // just update ui with lastTimer, ohters are ignorable

String sr = "00:00";

File sound;

if ((lastTime).equals(sr))
{

{


String clip = "C:/Users/Th3L3gend/Desktop/Counter sonder BUZZ/Countdowns/src/Sirène.wav";

InputStream in = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(clip);
} catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Countdown.class.getName()).log(Le vel.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

AudioStream audio = null;
try {
audio = new AudioStream(in);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Countdown.class.getName()).log(Le vel.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
AudioPlayer.player.start(audio);
}
}
}
