Print 60 seconds countdown in Java

Question

I've searched everywhere for some simple code to print 60 seconds down, say on a JFrame constructor. So when a JFrame is run, the window title will be shown a countdown from 60-0 seconds (which in my case will shutdown). - No need for code to shutdown.

Something on the lines of:

JFrame frame = new JFrame("Window will terminate in: " + java.util.Calendar.SECOND);

Of course the code above does not make sense because it's printing the current time second. But you get the idea.

Answer 1

Use a TimerTask to set the title of the JFrame every second.

public class TimerFrame {
    private static JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TimerFrame timerFrame = new TimerFrame();
        timerFrame.frame.setVisible(true);
        timerFrame.frame.setSize(400,100);
        new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask(){

            int second = 60;
            @Override
            public void run() {
                frame.setTitle("Application will close in " + second-- + " seconds.");
            }   
        },0, 1000);
    }
}
