在Java中为GUI使用哪个计时器

Question

I have been trying to find the best timer to use for the following code (note this is a simplified version of my overall program). My hope is to run a method after 3 seconds. The problem is with the actionPerformed , checkBlankLogin , and resetLoginBlank and putting a timer to delay resetLoginBlank from happening 3 seconds after checkBlankLogin has happened. But I want all methods in the class Outerframe to continuously run. So checkBlankLogin will keep checking if its blank until the person inputs the information for a "Valid Input" and the Login innerframe will close. But I don't know how to do that... Any help there also?

I would check out the following resource (assuming you using Swing for your UI):

How to Use Swing Timers (Oracle)

Answer 2

Swing timers are the easiest in your case. You make your class implement ActionListener, and create a timer object. The timer will call the actionPerformed method when it expires.

import javax.swing.Timer;

class OuterFrame extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
   Timer timer = null;

   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if(e.getSource()==loginBUT){
            //If the action came from the login button
            if (checkBlankLogin()){
               timer = new Timer(3000, this);
               timer.setRepeats(false);
               timer.setInitialDelay(3000);
               timer.start(); 
            } else if (timer != null){
               timer.stop();
            }
        }else if(e.getSource()==timer){
            //If the action came from the timer
            resetLoginBlank(namemess,passwmess));
        }
    }
}
