I have invoked cancel() method of Timer class outside the run() method of TimerTask class.

I want to know is it possible to restart this timer?

On stop button I have invoked cancel() method :-

private void stopBtnActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                        
t.cancel();}

Here t is instance of Timer class.

    ..how is this connected with Swing? For better help sooner, post a [MCTaRE](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) (Minimal Complete Tested and Readable Example). – Andrew Thompson Mar 19 '14 at 09:59

  • u can possibly use same TimerTask with a new instance of Timer –  Mar 19 '14 at 10:13

    you probably want to use javax.swing.Timer (vs. java.util.Timer) – kleopatra Mar 19 '14 at 10:18

    Why did you post an uncompilable code snippet? Again.. *For better help sooner, post a [MCTaRE](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) (Minimal Complete Tested and Readable Example).* – Andrew Thompson Mar 19 '14 at 10:27

You can't restart a Timer once cancelled - My advice would be to create a new one. Obviously you could wrap this in your own restartable Timer implementation that merely creates a new Timer under the covers each time.
