In previous part we got some methods just to get time from internet. But this may be not enough for the real clock. Let’s tell us current UTC time and will synchronize with internet servers from time to time to ensure accuracy.
First of all, lets put all methods from previous part inside some class, let it be called InternetTimeGetter.
We want to have clock which is synchronized with internet. Since synchronization may take some time or even fail we don’t want our application to freeze while performing synchronization. This means that we need background thread for this. We may use Task class for this. Also we will need some variables to keep current time value and last synchronization time. Let’s start
