SystemClock() is not public in 'android.os.SystemClock'

Question

I'm trying to code the game loop for an android game, however, i've come across this error when trying to access the current time (you know, for FPS management etc)

"SystemClock() is not public in 'android.os.SystemClock'. Cannot be accessed from outside package"

My code:

import android.os.SystemClock;

//...

SystemClock clock = new SystemClock();

Can you help me please? ^_^

SystemClock exposes static methods. So you should access them like this:

SystemClock.sleep(1000);
boolean b = SystemClock.setCurrentTimeMillis(1000)
long l = SystemClock.currentThreadTimeMillis();
