Keep Coding

Hi how do I make int x = (Sys.getTime() * 1000) / Sys.getTimerResolution(); equal the system time without x constantly changing to the system time after that. For example if I write a piece of code that waits for 100 milliseconds to do something (x + 100), x will always be 100 above the system time. Thanks for any help.

When you assign a value to a variable, that value doesn't change unless you assign a new value to the variable. Therefore, if you assign a value to x once, it won't change. The value of x will reflect the system time at the time the assignment was made. It won't automatically update as time passes.

You can schedule a Timer to keep the variable containing the desired value.
However, on this particular case, the best solution is using a function that returns that value, instead of a variable.

you can use a thread to keep the current time variable updated.

Well simply:
Use the new Date() to get the system time.
Get it in milliseconds.
And then add to it your time in milliseconds.
And finally make a new Date(long date) with your new time.
long x=new Date().getTime()+10000;
Date dt=new Date(x);
System.out.println(dt);
And to update your variable, you can use a Thread:
Thread myThread = new Thread() {
public void run() {
long x=new Date().getTime()+10000;
Date dt=new Date(x);
System.out.println(dt);
}
};
