Introduction

As we are working with Applets, this article will demonstrate a simple Analog Clock application. To help work with this application, we will be using two classes namely the Calendar and SimpleDataFormat and create objects that will be useful to the code.

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

public class AnalogClock extends Applet implements Runnable
{
int width, height;
Thread t = null;
boolean threadSuspended;
int hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0;
String timeString = "";

public void init()
{
width = getSize().width;
height = getSize().height;
setBackground( Color.black );
}

public void start()
{
if ( t == null )
{
t = new Thread( this );
t.setPriority( Thread.MIN_PRIORITY );
threadSuspended = false;
t.start(); }
else
{
if ( threadSuspended )
{
threadSuspended = false; synchronized( this )
{
notify();
}
}
}
}

public void stop()
{
threadSuspended = true;
}

public void run()
{
try
{
while (true)
{
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
hours = cal.get( Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY );
if ( hours > 12 ) hours -= 12;
minutes = cal.get( Calendar.MINUTE );
seconds = cal.get( Calendar.SECOND );
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat( "hh:mm:ss", Locale.getDefault() );
Date date = cal.getTime();
timeString = formatter.format( date );

if ( threadSuspended ) { synchronized( this )
{
while ( threadSuspended )
{
wait();
}
 }
 }
repaint();
t.sleep( 1000 ); 
}
}
catch (Exception e) { }
}

void drawHand( double angle, int radius, Graphics g )
{
angle -= 0.5 * Math.PI;
int x = (int)( radius*Math.cos(angle) );
int y = (int)( radius*Math.sin(angle) );
g.drawLine( width/2, height/2, width/2 + x, height/2 + y );
}

void drawWedge( double angle, int radius, Graphics g )
{
angle -= 0.5 * Math.PI; int x = (int)( radius*Math.cos(angle) );
int y = (int)( radius*Math.sin(angle) );
angle += 2*Math.PI/3;
int x2 = (int)( 5*Math.cos(angle) );
int y2 = (int)( 5*Math.sin(angle) );
angle += 2*Math.PI/3;
int x3 = (int)( 5*Math.cos(angle) );
int y3 = (int)( 5*Math.sin(angle) );
g.drawLine( width/2+x2, height/2+y2, width/2 + x, height/2 + y );
g.drawLine( width/2+x3, height/2+y3, width/2 + x, height/2 + y );
g.drawLine( width/2+x2, height/2+y2, width/2 + x3, height/2 + y3 );
}

public void paint( Graphics g )
{
g.setColor( Color.gray ); drawWedge( 2*Math.PI * hours / 12, width/5, g );
drawWedge( 2*Math.PI * minutes / 60, width/3, g );
drawHand( 2*Math.PI * seconds / 60, width/2, g );
g.setColor( Color.white );
g.drawString( timeString, 10, height-10 );
}
}
