while (true) {

try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) {}

updateCounter();

}

// let's say you have a calendar with the beginning date

public void updateCounter() {

this.counterGUI.setTimeDisplayed(calendar.getTime());

}

thanks for your posting.

I have a failure in my description of the problem.

This way is clear ... a counter since a given date.

The problem is to programm a countdown.

A way is to compute the difference of the finish-date with the current-date and then take the hour-value ... but this works only for countdowns less then 24 hours.

ideas?

For date and time arithmetics, look at the Calendar and GregorianCalendar classes. There are also code examples using them out there.Greetings from another Ole
