Evening all, just wondering. Im currently using an int, int i = 100; this
sets the timer to count down from, all works fine..
But now im trying to change the int i to a value the user inputs via a
textbox. Cant seem to figure it out, trying things like, textBox.getText()
just cant get to grasps with it, any ideas?

Cheers

getText() returns a String. You have to convert it to an int to assign it to
your variable.

int i = Interger.parseInt( textBox.getText() );

If you type the text into the field, you need to have some sort of
listener to a button, that when pressed, calls: textBox.getText() and then
parses it as an integer. you can then take that and do whatever you want
to it.

Cheers, for further reference, this is the code i used:
##########################
int t = 0;

t = Integer.parseInt( txtField.getText() );
timer.start();
##########################
Works fine :)
