java.lang.Object
public class Thread
A thread is a thread of execution in a program. The Java Virtual Machine allows an application to have multiple threads of execution running concurrently.
Every thread has a priority. Threads with higher priority are
executed in preference to threads with lower priority. Each thread
may or may not also be marked as a daemon. When code running in
some thread creates a new Thread object, the new
thread has its priority initially set equal to the priority of the
creating thread, and is a daemon thread if and only if the
creating thread is a daemon.
When a Java Virtual Machine starts up, there is usually a single
non-daemon thread (which typically calls the method named
main of some designated class). The Java Virtual
Machine continues to execute threads until either of the following
occurs:
exit method of class Runtime has been
called and the security manager has permitted the exit operation
to take place.
run method or by
throwing an exception that propagates beyond the run
method.
There are two ways to create a new thread of execution. One is to
declare a class to be a subclass of Thread. This
subclass should override the run method of class
Thread. An instance of the subclass can then be
allocated and started. For example, a thread that computes primes
larger than a stated value could be written as follows:
class PrimeThread extends Thread {
long minPrime;
PrimeThread(long minPrime) {
this.minPrime = minPrime;
}
public void run() {
// compute primes larger than minPrime
. . .
}
}
The following code would then create a thread and start it running:
PrimeThread p = new PrimeThread(143);
p.start();
The other way to create a thread is to declare a class that
implements the Runnable interface. That class then
implements the run method. An instance of the class can
then be allocated, passed as an argument when creating
Thread, and started. The same example in this other
style looks like the following:
class PrimeRun implements Runnable {
long minPrime;
PrimeRun(long minPrime) {
this.minPrime = minPrime;
}
public void run() {
// compute primes larger than minPrime
. . .
}
}
The following code would then create a thread and start it running:
PrimeRun p = new PrimeRun(143);
new Thread(p).start();
Every thread has a name for identification purposes. More than one thread may have the same name. If a name is not specified when a thread is created, a new name is generated for it.

static int |
activeCount()
Returns the number of active threads in the current thread's thread group. |
void |
checkAccess()
Determines if the currently running thread has permission to modify this thread. |

countStackFrames()
Deprecated. The definition of this call depends on suspend(),
which is deprecated. Further, the results of this call
were never well-defined. |
static Thread |
currentThread()
Returns a reference to the currently executing thread object. |
void |
destroy()
Deprecated. This method was originally designed to destroy this thread without any cleanup. Any monitors it held would have remained locked. However, the method was never implemented. If if were to be implemented, it would be deadlock-prone in much the manner of suspend(). If the target thread held
a lock protecting a critical system resource when it was
destroyed, no thread could ever access this resource again.
If another thread ever attempted to lock this resource, deadlock
would result. Such deadlocks typically manifest themselves as
"frozen" processes. For more information, see
Why are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. |

void |
resume()
Deprecated. This method exists solely for use with suspend(),
which has been deprecated because it is deadlock-prone.
For more information, see
Why
are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. |
void |
run()
If this thread was constructed using a separate Runnable run object, then that
Runnable object's run method is called;
otherwise, this method does nothing and returns. |

Set the handler invoked when this thread abruptly terminates due to an uncaught exception. |
static void |
sleep(long millis)
Causes the currently executing thread to sleep (temporarily cease execution) for the specified number of milliseconds, subject to the precision and accuracy of system timers and schedulers. |
static void |
sleep(long millis,
int nanos)
Causes the currently executing thread to sleep (cease execution) for the specified number of milliseconds plus the specified number of nanoseconds, subject to the precision and accuracy of system timers and schedulers. |
void |
start()
Causes this thread to begin execution; the Java Virtual Machine calls the run method of this thread. |
void |
stop()
Deprecated. This method is inherently unsafe. Stopping a thread with Thread.stop causes it to unlock all of the monitors that it has locked (as a natural consequence of the unchecked ThreadDeath exception propagating up the stack). If
any of the objects previously protected by these monitors were in
an inconsistent state, the damaged objects become visible to
other threads, potentially resulting in arbitrary behavior. Many
uses of stop should be replaced by code that simply
modifies some variable to indicate that the target thread should
stop running. The target thread should check this variable
regularly, and return from its run method in an orderly fashion
if the variable indicates that it is to stop running. If the
target thread waits for long periods (on a condition variable,
for example), the interrupt method should be used to
interrupt the wait.
For more information, see
Why
are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. |
void |
stop(Throwable obj)
Deprecated. This method is inherently unsafe. See stop()
for details. An additional danger of this
method is that it may be used to generate exceptions that the
target thread is unprepared to handle (including checked
exceptions that the thread could not possibly throw, were it
not for this method).
For more information, see
Why
are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. |
void |
suspend()
Deprecated. This method has been deprecated, as it is inherently deadlock-prone. If the target thread holds a lock on the monitor protecting a critical system resource when it is suspended, no thread can access this resource until the target thread is resumed. If the thread that would resume the target thread attempts to lock this monitor prior to calling resume, deadlock results. Such
deadlocks typically manifest themselves as "frozen" processes.

Why
are Thread.stop, Thread.suspend and Thread.resume Deprecated?. |

Returns a string representation of this thread, including the thread's name, priority, and thread group. |

public Thread(Runnable target,

Thread object. This constructor has
the same effect as Thread(null, target, name).
target - the object whose run method is called.name - the name of the new thread.Thread(ThreadGroup, Runnable, String)
public Thread(ThreadGroup group,
Runnable target,
String name)
Thread object so that it has
target as its run object, has the specified
name as its name, and belongs to the thread group
referred to by group.
If group is null and there is a
security manager, the group is determined by the security manager's
getThreadGroup method. If group is
null and there is not a security manager, or the
security manager's getThreadGroup method returns
null, the group is set to be the same ThreadGroup
as the thread that is creating the new thread.
If there is a security manager, its checkAccess
method is called with the ThreadGroup as its argument.
In addition, its checkPermission
method is called with the
RuntimePermission("enableContextClassLoaderOverride")
permission when invoked directly or indirectly by the constructor
of a subclass which overrides the getContextClassLoader
or setContextClassLoader methods.
This may result in a SecurityException.
If the target argument is not null, the
run method of the target is called when
this thread is started. If the target argument is
null, this thread's run method is called
when this thread is started.
The priority of the newly created thread is set equal to the
priority of the thread creating it, that is, the currently running
thread. The method setPriority may be used to
change the priority to a new value.
The newly created thread is initially marked as being a daemon
thread if and only if the thread creating it is currently marked
as a daemon thread. The method setDaemon may be used
to change whether or not a thread is a daemon.

public Thread(ThreadGroup group,
Runnable target,
String name,
long stackSize)
Thread object so that it has
target as its run object, has the specified
name as its name, belongs to the thread group referred to
by group, and has the specified stack size.
This constructor is identical to Thread(ThreadGroup,Runnable,String) with the exception of the fact
that it allows the thread stack size to be specified. The stack size
is the approximate number of bytes of address space that the virtual
machine is to allocate for this thread's stack. The effect of the
stackSize parameter, if any, is highly platform dependent.
On some platforms, specifying a higher value for the
stackSize parameter may allow a thread to achieve greater
recursion depth before throwing a StackOverflowError.
Similarly, specifying a lower value may allow a greater number of
threads to exist concurrently without throwing an OutOfMemoryError (or other internal error). The details of
the relationship between the value of the stackSize parameter
and the maximum recursion depth and concurrency level are
platform-dependent. On some platforms, the value of the
stackSize parameter may have no effect whatsoever.
The virtual machine is free to treat the stackSize parameter as a suggestion. If the specified value is unreasonably low for the platform, the virtual machine may instead use some platform-specific minimum value; if the specified value is unreasonably high, the virtual machine may instead use some platform-specific maximum. Likewise, the virtual machine is free to round the specified value up or down as it sees fit (or to ignore it completely).
Specifying a value of zero for the stackSize parameter will cause this constructor to behave exactly like the Thread(ThreadGroup, Runnable, String) constructor.
Due to the platform-dependent nature of the behavior of this constructor, extreme care should be exercised in its use. The thread stack size necessary to perform a given computation will likely vary from one JRE implementation to another. In light of this variation, careful tuning of the stack size parameter may be required, and the tuning may need to be repeated for each JRE implementation on which an application is to run.
Implementation note: Java platform implementers are encouraged to document their implementation's behavior with respect to the stackSize parameter.

If there is a security manager installed, its checkAccess
method is called with this
as its argument. This may result in a
SecurityException being raised (in the current thread).
If this thread is different from the current thread (that is, the current
thread is trying to stop a thread other than itself), the
security manager's checkPermission method (with a
RuntimePermission("stopThread") argument) is called in
addition.
Again, this may result in throwing a
SecurityException (in the current thread).
The thread represented by this thread is forced to stop whatever
it is doing abnormally and to throw a newly created
ThreadDeath object as an exception.
It is permitted to stop a thread that has not yet been started. If the thread is eventually started, it immediately terminates.
An application should not normally try to catch
ThreadDeath unless it must do some extraordinary
cleanup operation (note that the throwing of
ThreadDeath causes finally clauses of
try statements to be executed before the thread
officially dies). If a catch clause catches a
ThreadDeath object, it is important to rethrow the
object so that the thread actually dies.
The top-level error handler that reacts to otherwise uncaught
exceptions does not print out a message or otherwise notify the
application if the uncaught exception is an instance of
ThreadDeath.

Unless the current thread is interrupting itself, which is
always permitted, the checkAccess method
of this thread is invoked, which may cause a SecurityException to be thrown.
If this thread is blocked in an invocation of the wait(), wait(long), or wait(long, int) methods of the Object
class, or of the join(), join(long), join(long, int), sleep(long), or sleep(long, int),
methods of this class, then its interrupt status will be cleared and it
will receive an InterruptedException.
If this thread is blocked in an I/O operation upon an interruptible
channel then the channel will be closed, the thread's interrupt
status will be set, and the thread will receive a ClosedByInterruptException.
If this thread is blocked in a Selector
then the thread's interrupt status will be set and it will return
immediately from the selection operation, possibly with a non-zero
value, just as if the selector's wakeup method were invoked.
If none of the previous conditions hold then this thread's interrupt status will be set.
Interrupting a thread that is not alive need not have any effect.

If there is a security manager, then the security manager's checkPermission method is called with a RuntimePermission("getStackTrace") permission as well as RuntimePermission("modifyThreadGroup") permission to see if it is ok to get the stack trace of all threads.
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its
checkPermission method doesn't allow
getting the stack trace of thread.getStackTrace(),

public static void setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler eh)
Uncaught exception handling is controlled first by the thread, then
by the thread's ThreadGroup object and finally by the default
uncaught exception handler. If the thread does not have an explicit
uncaught exception handler set, and the thread's thread group
(including parent thread groups) does not specialize its
uncaughtException method, then the default handler's
uncaughtException method will be invoked.
By setting the default uncaught exception handler, an application can change the way in which uncaught exceptions are handled (such as logging to a specific device, or file) for those threads that would already accept whatever "default" behavior the system provided.
Note that the default uncaught exception handler should not usually defer to the thread's ThreadGroup object, as that could cause infinite recursion.
eh - the object to use as the default uncaught exception handler.
If null then there is no default handler.
SecurityException - if a security manager is present and it
denies RuntimePermission

public void setUncaughtExceptionHandler(Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler eh)
A thread can take full control of how it responds to uncaught exceptions by having its uncaught exception handler explicitly set. If no such handler is set then the thread's ThreadGroup object acts as its handler.
eh - the object to use as this thread's uncaught exception
handler. If null then this thread has no explicit handler.
SecurityException - if the current thread is not allowed to
modify this thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(java.lang.Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler),
