How do you create an java alarm clock with audio??

[John Wong]

Hi guys,
This is my first time here in this form...hope you guys and gals can help!!
How do you create an Java alarm clock with audio that will sound at a correct time??
I basically created 2 edit box, and when I typed the exact interger, the label will say "interger match!"...however, I would also like to show the clock within the applet, so how do you do it???
here is the java code I wrote earlier...hope you all can point out or give me some idea of how to do it....
Thanks!!
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.swing.Timer;
public class j27 extends Applet {
AudioClip audClip;
String Msg1=null;
String Msg2=null;
Label info;
TextField box1Text;
TextField box2Text;
Checkbox charTrue;
int myVar1=0, myVar2=1;
Font theFont=new Font("TimesRoman", Font.BOLD, 24); //
Date theDate; //
Thread runner; //
public class Rebound extends Applet
{
private Timer timer;}

public void init() {
info = new Label ("string and integer demo j27.java");
add (info);
box1Text=new TextField("12");
add (box1Text);
box2Text=new TextField("34");
add (box2Text);
Button load=new Button("process");
add (load);
charTrue=new Checkbox ("treat input as text");
add (charTrue);
timer = new Timer (DELAY, new ReboundMouseMouseListener());
timer.start();
}
public boolean action (Event event, Object object) {
if(event.target instanceof Button) {
Msg1=box1Text.getText();
Msg2=box2Text.getText();
if (charTrue.getState() !=true) { //test for text or integer input
myVar1 = Integer.parseInt (Msg1); //if integer input convert string
myVar2 = Integer.parseInt (Msg2); }
repaint(); }
return(true);
}
public void start()
{
if (runner == null)
{
runner = new Thread (this); //new thread
runner.start();
}
}
public void stop() {
if(runner!=null) {
runner.stop(); //kill thread
runner = null; }}
public void run()
{
while(true)
{
theDate = new Date();
repaint();
try {Thread.sleep(1000);} //thread sleeping 1 second
catch (InterruptedException e) {}
}
}
public void paint (Graphics g) {
g.setFont(theFont);
g.drawString(theDate.toString(),10,50);
if (Msg1 !=null) g.drawString( "box1=" + Msg1, 30, 140);
if (Msg2 !=null) g.drawString( "box2=" + Msg2, 30, 150);
if (charTrue.getState()==true) { //text for text or string
if (Msg1.compareTo(Msg2)==0) g.drawString ("strings match!", 30, 160); }
else
if (myVar1 == myVar2) g.drawString ("integers match!", 30, 170);
else
audClip = getAudioClip(getCodeBase(),"loop.au");
audClip.loop();
}
}

The creation of the alarm clock will be left as an exercise to the original poster, but here are some tips...
- Look at Java's Timer classes.
- You can just display chars/String to some GUI display to create a digital clock. If you can an analog one, you need some type of circle or cirular guage widget.
- A google search will probably turn up some useful code.
