OK, used the Timer and working fine for first part. Now I'm trying to do something else, lil bit different. In my GUI trying to have timer to show start State and end State each 2 sec. I have a method in my view that doing this job and calling it from my controller. My problem is that for a reason interface not updated (used System.out and printing ok). Here is my code in controller:

public Constructor(){

                view.showStates(view.startState); //Here calling the method to initialize Interface with Start State( Is working)

      timer = new Timer(2000, states);

      timer.start();

}


ActionListener states = new ActionListener(){


         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {

            if(i++%2 == 0){

               System.out.println("Start state"); //Is printed out

               view.showStates(view.startState); //Not working

            }

            else{

               System.out.println("End state"); // Is printed out

               view.showStates(view.endState); //Not working

            }

         }

         

      };

Any idea?

Thank you

This makes me think of that GUI is not updating. Depending on what you're changing in the GUI, you may have to make a call to validate() or repaint() or something similar. What exactly are you trying to change in the UI?
In other words, everything is working fine, but the GUI doesn't realize that a change has been made and isn't refreshing itself to display the new date.
