Swing Timer, how to pause and resume it?

Question

i have a timer that counts the spent time and other calculations, but i need when i click on pause button the timer to pause, and then resume. How do i pause it?

Answer 1

There is no pause & resume API for Timer. You will need to code for it.

Here is example which pauses and resumes Timer on mouseover.
