Hello everyone

Im working on a clock type of app. And im totally new to java .
On the main screen i want to have the current time and i cant seem to get it to show up, could some one help me out?

public static void main (String[] args)
{

Clock app = new Clock();
app.enterEventDispatcher();
}
public Clock()
{
pushScreen(new ClockScreen());
}

}
final class ClockScreen extends MainScreen
{
public ClockScreen()
{
//super();
LabelField t = new LabelField("Current Time is",
LabelField.ELLIPSIS | LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
setTitle(t);

}
public static String StringToDate(String dateToParse)
{
Date formatter = new Date(HttpDateParser.parse(dateToParse));
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
int offset = TimeZone.getDefault().getRawOffset();
formatter.setTime(formatter.getTime() + offset);
String customd = dateFormat.format(formatter);
return customd;
}

when i am returning customd, im expecting to see something.
what would i need to add to this code anyone?

thanx in advance

I don't see where your StringToDate is ever called, or where the value is ever displayed.

ok to call the StringToDate function above im doing this

	public ClockScreen()
	{
		Date d = new Date();
		LabelField t = new LabelField("Current Time is",
			LabelField.ELLIPSIS | LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
		setTitle(t);
		ClockScreen f = new ClockScreen();
		d.getTime();
		f.StringToDate(d.toString());		
		
	}

im getting stack overflow error.
how do i display and position the result?

I think my problem above is that i am making a new clock screen?

I think you need to start with the sample programs that are shipped with the JDE, and purchase a good Java book while you are at it.

You cannot instantiate a class from within the constructor of that class. This will result in a stack fault (as you have already seen).

There are three "Blackberry" development books in print, you should invest in one of them.
