Thread Question
Hi,
I have a question regarding threads.
publicclass Aimplements Runnable{
Thread t;
public A()
{
//dont want to start thread in constructor
}
publicvoid methodtostartthread()
{
t=new Thread(this);
t.start();
}
publicvoid run()
{
// do something
}
}
class B{
A m_oA;
public B(){
m_oA=new A();
}
publicvoid statrt()
{
A.methodtostartthread();
}
}
Will the below statement start a new Thread in A ?
"t=new Thread(this);"
Or is there a better way to start a new Thread from a method;
thanks

hi...
A.methodtostartthread(); wont starts because class A is not static...
m_oA.methodtostartthread(); will....
another method is
public class A implements Runnable{
public A()
{
//dont want to start thread in constructor
}
public void run()
{
// do something
}
}
class B{
A m_oA;
Thread t;
public B(){
m_oA=new A();
}
public void statrt()
{
t = new Thread(m_oA);
t.start();
}
}

No, it will create a new instance of Thread, passing the instance of the class creating the Thread instance as a Runnable.
It does not start that Thread, you have to do that explicitly by calling its start() method.
