Time Delay using Thread.sleep() for paintComponent(Graphics g) not working as expected

Question

I am making an Animated ProgressBar, in which i used multiple fillRect() method of class javax.swing.Graphics.
To put a delay after each rectan

Answer 1

I really wouldn't do this. The Swing refresh thread isn't supposed to be used like this. You're much better off using another thread (perhaps using a TimerTask) and redrawing rectangles upon demand.

Check out the Oracle ProgressBar tutorial for more info, code etc.
