1. Create Thread using Runnable Interface vs Thread class Let’s quickly check the java code of usage of both techniques. 1.1. Runnable interface Java program to create thread by implementing Runnable interface. public class DemoRunnable implements Runnable { public void run() { //Code } } //start new thread with a “new Thread(new demoRunnable()).start()” call 1.2. Thread class…
In this post, we are going to discuss thread priorities in detail and the different types of thread priorities in Java, and how a thread scheduler executes various threads based on their priorities. We will also see how we can set thread priority of a thread and how we can get the priority of an existing thread. 1. Introduction to…
In java, join() methods allows one thread to wait for the complete execution of other thread. Consider there are two threads T1 & T2, currently thread T1 is executing, and we invoked join() method on T2 then execution of thread T1 is paused and waits for the completion of execution of Thread T2 and then…
There is no official method to kill a thread in Java. Stopping a thread is entirely managed by the JVM. Although Java provides several ways to manage the thread lifecycle such as a start(), sleep(), stop() (deprecated in Java 1.1), etc. but does not provide any method to kill a thread and free the resources cleanly. Oracle specified the reason for deprecating the…
Thread in Java Table Of Contents Getting Thread Name Setting Name to Thread Using Thread Constructor Using Thread.setName() 1. Getting Thread Name By default, the Java compiler sets a default name of each thread while creating, and we can get the thread name by using the Thread.currentThread().getName() method. In the following example, we created a Thread by implementing the Runnable interface and…
