why isnt this working

 

 

	public void actionPerformed(GuiButton button){
	switch(button.id){
	case 0:
		if(timeFormat == true){
			timeFormat = false;
			format = "12 Hour Period";
			sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("h:mm a");
			String time = sdf.format(new Date());
		}else if(timeFormat == false){
			timeFormat = true;
			format = "24 Hour Period";
			sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
			String time = sdf.format(new Date());
		}
		break;
	}
}

its called by one of the other functions in the gui , you have probably overridden it and not called the super method

if you put a debug line in it you will find it most likely isn't being called

if you cant find it post the whole class

I did find the problem, I thought it wasnt working because the time wasnt changing formats but the problem was that I was calling a new variable String time = sdf.format(new Date());    when I already had the variable setup.
