Data actualization

Question

I created a class called DataManager and within it I called Calendar.getInstance(), this class is running on a server with exchange of sockets, but every time you change a socket, the date is never updated, it always displays the same date as the date when the class was instantiated the first time. I would have to create a thread only to keep updating the date or have another way to solve?

language: java

Answer 1

Not sure I understand the question but it sounds like you want a sort of timestamp for when there is a change of Socket. If so, I would do something like this:

// Get calendar instance
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

// Get a java.util.Date from the calendar instance to represent the current moment
java.util.Date newTime = calendar.getTime();
