how to make localtime.now a continuous function that updates automatically?

Question

As the title says, How could I make that LocalTime.now update continuously, essentially becoming somewhat into a clock?

    var current  = LocalTime.now()
    Current.text = current.toString()
    //Current is the textView id in xml
    // this currently prints out what the local time is at app launch.

Use TextClock This shows the time and updates it automatically you don't have to do anything, please refer to see in detail.

<TextClock
    android:id="@+id/textClock"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:format12Hour="hh:mm:ss a" />
