Updating a JLabel within a JFrame

问题

I've been searching around this site and the internet for hours trying to figure out how to fix this problem. I'm creating a game and it's my first time using graphics. I figured out how to create a JFrame, JPanel and JLabel, and the only problem I can't seem to get around is updating the JLabel. Let's say I start it out like this:

JLabel testing = new JLabel ("blah", JLabel.CENTER);
testing.setAlignmentX(0);
testing.setAlignmentY(0);
frame.add(testing);

I am able to change the text after a Thread.sleep(2500) by using testing.setText("hi");, but the previous state of the JLabel (which says blah) is still there. The "hi" just appears on top. I've tried testing.setVisible(false);, and so many other things but nothing is letting me display the JLabel, hide it, and then change it.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks

Don't sleep or otherwise block on the AWT Event Dispatch Thread (EDT).

Use javax.swing.Timer instead. Note: not any other class of the same name in a different package.

            javax.swing.Timer timer =
                new javax.swing.Timer(2500, event -> {
                    testing.setText("hi");
                });
            timer.setRepeats(false);
            timer.start();
