Thread Basics

 

à  Example 1:  SimpleThread:  

ü   (Run  Applet)

 

  public class SimpleThread extends Thread {

 

  private int countDown = 50;

  private static int threadCount = 0;

  private int threadNumber = ++threadCount;

 

  public SimpleThread () {

    System.out.println("Making " + threadNumber);

         }

       

         public void run() {

    while (true) {

      System.out.println("Thread " + threadNumber + "(" + countDown + ")");

       if (--countDown == 0) return;

}

  }

 

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)

        new SimpleThread().start();

    System.out.println("All Threads Started");

  }

}

 

ü   Example 2: Counter4

ü   (Run   Applet)  

 

public class Counter4 extends JApplet {

 

  private JButton startB = new JButton("Start");

  private Ticker[] s;

 

  class Ticker extends Thread {

    private JButton b = new JButton("Toggle");

    private JTextField t = new JTextField(10);

    private int count = 0;

    private boolean runFlag = true;

 

    public Ticker() {

      b.addActionListener(new ToggleL());

      JPanel p = new JPanel();

      p.add(t);

      p.add(b);

      getContentPane().add(p);

    }

 

    class ToggleL implements ActionListener {

      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

        runFlag = !runFlag;

      }

    }

 

    public void run() {

      while (true) {

        if (runFlag) t.setText (Integer.toString(count++));

        try {

               sleep(100);

        } catch(InterruptedException e) {

               System.err.println("Interrupted");

        }

      }

    }

 

  }

 

  class  StartL  implements ActionListener {

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

          startB.setBackground(Color.red);

          startB.setEnabled(false);

          for (int i = 0; i < s.length; i++)

                 s[i].start();

      }

    }

  }

 

 public void init() {

    Container cp = getContentPane();

    cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

 

    s = new Ticker[4];

 

    for (int i = 0; i < s.length; i++)

        s[i] = new Ticker();

 

    startB.addActionListener(new StartL());

    cp.add(startB);

  } 

 

   public static void main (String[] args) {

    Counter4 applet = new Counter4 ();

    Console.run (applet, 200, 200);

  }

}

 

You can run this as an application

Blocking, Notify & Interrupt

 

 

à  Example :  Notifying  and Interrupting a blocked thread:

ü    (Run Applet)

 

public class SuspendInterrupt extends JApplet {

   private JTextField txt = new JTextField(10);
   private JButton
       suspendB = new JButton("Suspend"),
       resumeB = new JButton("Resume"),
       interruptB = new JButton("Interrupt");

   private int SuspendCount = 1;
   private Suspendable suspendableThread = new Suspendable();
  

   class Suspendable extends Thread {
      private int count = 0;
      private boolean suspendedFlag = false;
     

      public Suspendable() {
         start();
      }

      public synchronized void funSuspend() {
         suspendedFlag = true;
      }

      public synchronized void funResume() {
         suspendedFlag = false;
         notify();
      }
      public synchronized void funInterrupt() {
         interrupt();
         suspendableThread = null; // to release it
      }
      public void run() {
         while (true) {
            txt.setText("Count: " + Integer.toString(count++));
            synchronized (this) {
               if(suspendedFlag) {
                  txt.setText("Suspend # " +  SuspendCount++);
                  try{
                     wait();
                  }
                  catch(InterruptedException e) {
                     System.err.println("wait Interrupted");
                  }
                  if (suspendedFlag){
                     System.err.println("wait:Interrupt Button");
                     break;
                  }
                  else System.err.println("wait: Resume Button");
               }
            }
            try{
               sleep(1000);
            }
            catch(InterruptedException e) {
               System.err.println("sleep: Interrupt Button");
               break;
            }
         }
      }
   }
   public void init() {
      Container cp = getContentPane();
      cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
      cp.add(txt);

      suspendB.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
         public
             void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                suspendableThread.funSuspend();
                suspendB.setEnabled(false);
                suspendB.setBackground(Color.red);
                resumeB.setEnabled(true);
                resumeB.setBackground(Color.green);
         }
      }
      );
      cp.add(suspendB);
      suspendB.setEnabled(true);
      suspendB.setBackground(Color.green);

      resumeB.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
         public
             void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                suspendableThread.funResume();
                suspendB.setEnabled(true);
                suspendB.setBackground(Color.green);
                resumeB.setEnabled(false);
                resumeB.setBackground(Color.red);
         }
      }
      );
      cp.add(resumeB);
      resumeB.setEnabled(false);
      resumeB.setBackground(Color.red);

      interruptB.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
         public
             void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                suspendB.setEnabled(false);
                suspendB.setBackground(Color.red);
                resumeB.setEnabled(false);
                resumeB.setBackground(Color.red);
                interruptB.setEnabled(false);
                interruptB.setBackground(Color.red);
                txt.setText("Thread Interrupted");
                suspendableThread.funInterrupt();
         }
      }
      );
      cp.add(interruptB);
      interruptB.setEnabled(true);
      interruptB.setBackground(Color.green);

   }
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Console.run(new SuspendInterrupt(), 300, 100);
   }
}
