how to put a timer on a JLabel to update itself every second

Question

I created a game and in my swing GUI interface I want to put a timer. The way I do this at the moment is have a field with the current time , gotten with System.curren

Answer 1

This is how I would set my JLabel to update with time & date.

Timer SimpleTimer = new Timer(1000, new ActionListener(){
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        jLabel1.setText(SimpleDay.format(new Date()));
        jLabel2.setText(SimpleDate.format(new Date()));
        jLabel3.setText(SimpleTime.format(new Date()));
    }
});
SimpleTimer.start();

This is then added to your main class and the jlabel1/2/3 get updated with the timer.
