How to use stop() in java swing Timer class ?

Question

I want to repeat some code with Timer class in java. Here's the code :
Timer t = new Timer(1000,
new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
// Do action
if(workIsDone) {
t.stop();
}
}
}
);
t.start();
When i compile it i am getting
error:
variable t might not have been initialized t.stop();
How to solve this ?

I think i am getting this because of anonymous inner class but i am unable to solve it :(

Answer 1

declare t as class member, not local

Answer 2

yes. t declare outside...
Am not sure but try Timer.stop(); stop(); simply..

Edit : Kuber Acharya use timer.cancel() instead..

Answer 3
