How to close a stage after a certain amount of time JavaFX

Question

I\'m currently working with two controller classes.

In Controller1 it creates a new stage that opens on top of the main one.

Stage stage = new Stage         


        

Answer 1

Doing it your way, this would work:

long mTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long end = mTime + 5000; // 5 seconds 

while (mTime < end) 
{
    mTime = System.currentTimeMilis();
} 
stage.close();

You need to save your stage into a variable. Maybe it is better to run that in a Thread, so that you can do something within the 5 seconds. Another way would be to run a Thread.sleep(5000); and this would also be more performant than the while loop.
