JAVA线程对象2.5:使用2-5中方法的简单线程例子（参考官方）

下面的例子SimpleThreads中用到了2-5节中的几个方法和概念。

SimpleThreads中有两个线程，一个是所有Java程序都有的主线程main，另一个就是在主线程中创建的runnble对象——循环输出消息的线程t，t在主线程中调用了join方法，因此主线程需等待线程t的完成。但如果t线程运行时间过长（本例中用patience加以控制），主线程就会中断。

在本例中有许多输出语句， 用以反映线程运行状态及线程对interrupt异常的反应。

 

 

public class SimpleThreads {

    // Display a message, preceded by
    // the name of the current thread
    static void threadMessage(String message) {
        String threadName =
            Thread.currentThread().getName();
        System.out.format("%s: %s%n",
                          threadName,
                          message);
    }

    private static class MessageLoop
        implements Runnable {
        public void run() {
            String importantInfo[] = {
                "Mares eat oats",
                "Does eat oats",
                "Little lambs eat ivy",
                "A kid will eat ivy too"
            };
            try {
                for (int i = 0;
                     i < importantInfo.length;
                     i++) {
                    // Pause for 4 seconds
                    Thread.sleep(4000);
                    // Print a message
                    threadMessage(importantInfo[i]);
                }
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                threadMessage("I wasn't done!");
            }
        }
    }

    public static void main(String args[])
        throws InterruptedException {

        // Delay, in milliseconds before
        // we interrupt MessageLoop
        // thread (default one hour).
        long patience = 1000 * 60 * 60;

        // If command line argument
        // present, gives patience
        // in seconds.
        if (args.length > 0) {
            try {
                patience = Long.parseLong(args[0]) * 1000;
            } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                System.err.println("Argument must be an integer.");
                System.exit(1);
            }
        }

        threadMessage("Starting MessageLoop thread");
        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        Thread t = new Thread(new MessageLoop());
        t.start();

        threadMessage("Waiting for MessageLoop thread to finish");
        // loop until MessageLoop
        // thread exits
        while (t.isAlive()) {
            threadMessage("Still waiting...");
            // Wait maximum of 1 second
            // for MessageLoop thread
            // to finish.
            t.join(1000);
            if (((System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) > patience)
                  && t.isAlive()) {
                threadMessage("Tired of waiting!");
                t.interrupt();
                // Shouldn't be long now
                // -- wait indefinitely
                t.join();
            }
        }
        threadMessage("Finally!");
    }
}

 运行结果：

 

 

main: Starting MessageLoop thread
main: Waiting for MessageLoop thread to finish
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
Thread-0: Mares eat oats
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
Thread-0: Does eat oats
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
Thread-0: Little lambs eat ivy
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
main: Still waiting...
Thread-0: A kid will eat ivy too
main: Finally!

 

偷偷把patience改掉之后呢：

long patience = 1000 * 60 * 60;改为 long patience = 1000;

运行效果是这样的：

 

main: Starting MessageLoop thread
main: Waiting for MessageLoop thread to finish
main: Still waiting...
main: Tired of waiting!
Thread-0: I wasn't done!
main: Finally!
