Question

I am implementing a mp3 player which is command line.

I want show the mp3 duration like this

Now Playing :: hello.mp3 Duration :: 1.20 

But when I use System.out.println it shows

Now Playing :: hello.mp3 Duration :: 1.20 
Now Playing :: hello.mp3 Duration :: 1.21 
Now Playing :: hello.mp3 Duration :: 1.22 
Now Playing :: hello.mp3 Duration :: 1.23 
Now Playing :: hello.mp3 Duration :: 1.24 
Now Playing :: hello.mp3 Duration :: 1.25
..... 

Basically the duration getting update by a thread, I want to show it a single line, I mean the duration have to be updated in single line. I have see the Flushable interface but didn’t get it. Please help me out

here is my thread

while(p.getPlayer().isComplete() == false){
String bOutput = "\r Duration ::" + (int) ((p.getPlayer().getPosition() / (1000*60)) % 60) + " : " + (int) (p.getPlayer().getPosition() / 1000) % 60;
//p.getBufferedOutputStream().write(bOutput.getBytes());
//p.getBufferedOutputStream().flush();
System.out.println(bOutput);

Thread.sleep(1000);
}

Answer 1

while(p.getPlayer().isComplete() == false){
String bOutput = "Duration ::" + (int) ((p.getPlayer().getPosition() / (1000*60)) % 60) + " : " + (int) (p.getPlayer().getPosition() / 1000) % 60;
System.out.println(bOutput+"\r");

Thread.sleep(1000);
}

This is solve my problem.

Note: I don’t see any effect in Eclipse Console, When I run it on CMD then its works
