Getting value of variable from Thread class to main class

I have a problem, with getting value of a variable that is set in thread. I start the Thread in a main class, thread gets the value from server and sets it as static variable. After starting the thread I try to print the value of" threadObjetc.staticvariable " but every time it has a null value. I suppose that the reason for that is that thread works in a background and functions of main class continues anyway. If someone had a similar problem and could help me to avoid it I would be gratefull for help, Thanks
