I am struggling with getting a chronometer into a jLabel or jTextfield. My first class is a GUI Where I will want to display the chronometer in a jLabel or JTextField. My second class is where I made the chronometer, which works fine showing it on the console. My question is how can I make the run() method of the chronometer to change the jLabel of the GUI class instead of showing in the console.

Chronometer class:

    public void run()
    {
    increaseTime();
    Paciente.tfTime.setText((getTime()));
    }

GUI class(Paciente):

private void bStartActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                       
            setTime();
}

public void setTime(String time)
{
    Timer timer = new Timer();
    Chronometer chron = new Chronometer();
    timer.schedule(chron, 1000, 1000);
}

Thanks

@FastSnail the Chronometer works fine if I print getTime() to the console – Gabriel Luque Aug 02 '15 at 04:57
use swing timer.can you add more codes – Madhawa Priyashantha Aug 02 '15 at 04:57
the error is because tfTime is a non static field .so you shoud create a object of Paciente class first .add more codes so we can help.see your error here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2559527/non-static-variable-cannot-be-referenced-from-a-static-context – Madhawa Priyashantha Aug 02 '15 at 05:03
