Timer

[memcuch]

Hi, I have timer declared in my code:

ActionListener listener;     //listener for timer
listener = new ActionListener(){

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{//counting down from 6 to 0
 if(tajmery==0){                                           //tajmery is a "switching" variable; =0, counting down, =1 counting up;
      time--;
      jLabel10.setText(Integer.toString(time));   //display value of variable "time"
         if(time==0){                                           //when time reaches 0, timer starts to count up;
            tajmery=1;
            jButton22.setEnabled(true);                   //unlocking 1 button
            jButton2.setIcon(jButton10.getIcon());    //loading image from "buffer" jButton10
            jButton3.setIcon(jButton10.getIcon());
            jButton4.setIcon(jButton10.getIcon());
            jButton5.setIcon(jButton10.getIcon());
            jButton6.setIcon(jButton10.getIcon());
            jButton7.setIcon(jButton10.getIcon());
            time = 0;                                            //restart variable time
            jButton1.setEnabled(false);                  //nothing important
           }\\if
}//if

//counting from 0 to infinity
 if(tajmery==1){ 
         if(timestate==1){                                   //timestate==1 -> time is icreasing, 0 -> stop
           czas++;
           jLabel10.setText(Integer.toString(czas));  
         }//if
 }//if
 }//void
}; //listener                  
Timer tajmer = new Timer(1000, listener);//1 000 ms = 1s delay     //new timer
tajmer.start();                                                                               //start
}

And now I would like to turn this timer off using jButton, because when I am using dispose() and running frame again, I have 2 timers working at the same time. How I can do this?

Please edit your code and fix your formatting, in particular your indentation. Indentation is not just for good looks, but rather it helps you to see at a glance where blocks of code start and finish, and what *scope* variables are declared (and that is likely the cause of your current problem, but it's so hard to tell with that awful formatting). This isn't asking too much since it is you who are asking volunteers to donate time to help you. So why not first help us by making your code much easier to read?

edited; Is it a little bit better now?;p

So is your Swing Timer variable declared in the class? If not, you may wish to do so. Then in the JButton's ActionListener simply call stop() on the Timer variable. You can and should also check to see if the Timer is non-null and is running before starting it anew.
