What’s the try catch way

Oooh yeah that would make sense

#

If you were sleeping the EDT then your draw calls never actually get run. To add delay into your project you have to use a swing timer or something like that

#

Is there more context there? ActionPerformed is a method that is called, for example, when a button is pressed

#

Or some other action occurs

#

So what is this action listener attached to in your case?

#

Oh

#

Like for the timer?

#

Lmao my bad I forgot how they worked for a sec

could you just explain what you are generally trying to do ? Why do you need the 2 sec delay ?

this is not a nice and clean solution but it will work.

public class gezearte extends JPanel {
    Graphics e;
    public gezearte() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.getContentPane().add(this);
        frame.setSize(300,300);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        e = getGraphics();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(this::printCircles); //Runs the printCircles method on the EDT
        javax.swing.Timer t = new Timer(2000, e -> printCube()); //Creates a new timer with a delay of 2 seconds which will execute the print Cube method
        t.setRepeats(false); //Timer will only execute once
        t.start(); //Start the timer


    }


    public void printCircles() {
        super.paintComponent(e);
        Graphics2D e = (Graphics2D) this.e; //Cast to Graphics2D to allow next Step to work
        e.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON); //Enable AntiAliasing to smoothen the corners
        e.setColor(Color.black);
        e.drawOval(75, 75, 50, 50);
        e.drawOval(75, 125, 50, 50);
        e.drawOval(125, 75, 50, 50);
        e.drawOval(125, 125, 50, 50);


    }
    public void printCube() {
        super.paintComponent(e);
        e.setColor(Color.black);
        e.drawRect(100, 100, 50, 50);
        e.drawLine(100, 100, 125, 75);
        e.drawLine(150, 100, 175, 75);
        e.drawRect(125, 75, 50, 50);
        e.drawLine(100, 150, 125, 125);
        e.drawLine(150, 150, 175, 125);

    }
    public static void main(String[] args){
        new gezearte();
    }
}
