Digital Clock using Swing

1.0. Rationale
Creating a digital clock using Swing in java is an educational and practical exercise that can
enhance your java and GUI programming skills while providing valuable experience in real-
time applications, date and time handling, multithreading and user interface customization
.Its a solid foundation for more advance projects and serves as a demonstration of
programming abilities.

4.0. Literature Review

This Java program creates a graphical user interface (GUI) application for displaying a digital
clock along with the current day and date. Let's break down the program step by

step:

Import Statements:
The program begins with a series of import statements, which bring in the necessary classes
from the Java standard library and Swing library to create a graphical user interface.

MET’s Institute of Technology, Polytechnic, Nashik 3

 MyFrame Class:
The MyFrame class extends the JFrame class, which is a top-level container for creating GUI
windows.

Constructor:
The constructor of the MyFrame class is where the GUI is set up and initialized.

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE):
This line sets the close operation for the frame, ensuring that the application will exit when
the window is closed.
setTitle("My Clock Program"): Sets the title of the window.
setLayout(new FlowLayout()): Specifies that the layout manager for the frame is a
FlowLayout, which arranges components in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom manner.
setSize(350, 200): Sets the initial size of the window to 350 pixels in width and 200 pixels in
height.
setResizable(false): Disables window resizing, so the user cannot change the size of the
frame.

Date and Time Formats:

Three SimpleDateFormat objects are created to format the time, day, and date in the
desired way.

Labels:
Three JLabel components (timeLabel, dayLabel, and dateLabel) are created to display the
time, day, and date information.
Fonts and colors are set for these labels.
Adding Components:

The labels are added to the frame using the add() method.

Setting Visibility:
setVisible(true): Makes the frame visible on the screen.

setTime() Method:
This method continuously updates the time, day, and date labels with the current values in a
loop, making the digital clock dynamic.

Inside the loop:

MET’s Institute of Technology, Polytechnic, Nashik 4

 The timeFormat, dayFormat, and dateFormat objects are used to format the current time,
day of the week, and date, respectively.
The labels (timeLabel, dayLabel, and dateLabel) are updated with the formatted time, day,
and date.
The program then sleeps for 1000 milliseconds (1 second) to ensure that the time updates
every second.

main() Method:
This is the entry point of the program. It creates an instance of the MyFrame class, which
initializes and displays the GUI window with the digital clock.

7.0. Output of the Micro-Project

Java code defines a Swing-based digital clock application. When you run this program, it will
create a graphical window displaying a digital clock with the current time, day of the week,
and date, and it will update this information in real-time.

The output of this code will be a graphical user interface (GUI) window that appears on
screen with the following components:
Time Label: A large label at the top of the window displaying the current time in the format
"hh:mm:ss a" (hours:minutes:seconds AM/PM).

Day Label: A label below the time label that shows the current day of the week (e.g.,
"Monday").

Date Label: Another label below the day label displaying the current date in the format
"Month dd, yyyy" (e.g., "November 07, 2023").

The time, day, and date labels will continuously update in real-time, with the time refreshing
every second.

8.0. Skill Developed/Learning outcomes of this Micro-Project

1) Programming skills of Java
2) Designing and building GUI application using Java
3) Design application with the help of swing
4) Debugging, tackling issues related to swing, date formatting.

9.0. Application of this Micro-Project

Desktop Clock Application: You can use the Swing-based digital clock to create a desktop
application that displays the current time on your computer. This can be a convenient way
to have a live clock on your desktop.
Learning and Practice: Developing a digital clock with Swing is an excellent way to learn and
practice GUI programming in Java. It helps you understand how to create and manage
graphical user interfaces, use timers for real-time updates, and work with Swing
components.
Screensaver: You can design a screensaver using Swing and display it on your computer
screen when it's idle. The screensaver could be the digital clock, which would start running
after a certain period of inactivity.
