Digital clock in Applet

Digital clock can be created by using the Calendar and SimpleDateFormat class. Let's see the simple example:

Example of Digital clock in Applet:

  1. import java.applet.*;  
  2. import java.awt.*;  
  3. import java.util.*;  
  4. import java.text.*;  
  5.   
  6. public class DigitalClock extends Applet implements Runnable {  
  7.   
  8.    Thread t = null;  
  9.    int hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0;  
  10.    String timeString = "";  
  11.   
  12.    public void init() {  
  13.       setBackground( Color.green);  
  14.    }  
  15.   
  16.    public void start() {  
  17.         t = new Thread( this );  
  18.         t.start();  
  19.    }  
  20.   
  21.     
  22.    public void run() {  
  23.       try {  
  24.          while (true) {  
  25.   
  26.             Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();  
  27.             hours = cal.get( Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY );  
  28.             if ( hours > 12 ) hours -= 12;  
  29.             minutes = cal.get( Calendar.MINUTE );  
  30.             seconds = cal.get( Calendar.SECOND );  
  31.   
  32.             SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");  
  33.             Date date = cal.getTime();  
  34.             timeString = formatter.format( date );  
  35.   
  36.             repaint();  
  37.             t.sleep( 1000 );  // interval given in milliseconds  
  38.          }  
  39.       }  
  40.       catch (Exception e) { }  
  41.    }  
  42.   
  43.     
  44.   public void paint( Graphics g ) {  
  45.       g.setColor( Color.blue );  
  46.       g.drawString( timeString, 5050 );  
  47.    }  
  48.  
In the above example, getX() and getY() method of MouseEvent is used to get the current x-axis and y-axis. The getGraphics() method of Component class returns the object of Graphics.
