Joins
The join
method allows one thread to wait for the completion of another. If t
is a Thread
object whose thread is currently executing,
t.join();
causes the current thread to pause execution until t
's thread terminates. Overloads of join
allow the programmer to specify a waiting period. However, as with sleep
, join
is dependent on the OS for timing, so you should not assume thatjoin
will wait exactly as long as you specify.
Like sleep
, join
responds to an interrupt by exiting with an InterruptedException
.
译文:
连接
连接方法允许一个线程等待另外一个线程执行完毕。如果t是正在执行的一个thread对象。
t.join();
引起当前线程停止执行知道t这个线程终止。重载join方法允许程序员指定一段等待时间。然而,同sleep方法一样,join方法也是依赖于系统时间的,因此不要认为join等待的时间会和你指定的一模一样。同sleep方法一样,join返回一个中断如果捕获到一个interruptedException异常。
The SimpleThreads Example
The following example brings together some of the concepts of this section. SimpleThreads
consists of two threads. The first is the main thread that every Java application has. The main thread creates a new thread from the Runnable
object,MessageLoop
, and waits for it to finish. If the MessageLoop
thread takes too long to finish, the main thread interrupts it.
The MessageLoop
thread prints out a series of messages. If interrupted before it has printed all its messages, theMessageLoop
thread prints a message and exits.
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!"); } }
