java.lang.Thread

• Get current thread

    public static native Thread currentThread();
  

• name - thread name

    private volatile char name[];
  

• priority

    private int priority;
    public final static int MIN_PRIORITY = 1;
    public final static int MAX_PRIORITY = 10;
    // default
    public final static int NORM_PRIORITY = 5;
  

• daemon thread - Java has 2 types of thread, user thread and daemon thread.

    private boolean daemon = false;
    // use to set thread as daemon
    public final void setDaemon(boolean on)
  

• target - the object whose run() method gets called.

    private Runnable target;
  

• start - start a thread to call the run methord.
• run - called the run method of target
• sleep - the sleepping thread will not release the lock, code in synchronized block will still be locked.

    public static native void sleep(long millis) throws InterruptedException;
    public static void sleep(long millis, int nanos)
  

• yield
• join

    public final void join() throws InterruptedException
    public final synchronized void join(long millis)
    public final synchronized void join(long millis, int nanos)
  

• interrupt

    public void interrupt()
  
    // Tests if the current thread has been interrupted. And clear interrupt status.                         
    public static boolean interrupted()
  
    // Tests whether this thread has been interrupted. It will not clear interrupt status.  
    public boolean isInterrupted()
  
    private native boolean isInterrupted\(boolean ClearInterrupted);
  

• thread state

    public enum State {
        NEW,
        RUNNABLE,
  
        // A thread in the blocked state is waiting for a monitor lock 
        // to enter a synchronized block/method
        BLOCKED,
  
        // Object.wait with no timeout
        // Thread.join with no timeout
        WAITING,
  
        // Thread.sleep
        // Object.wait with timeout
        // Thread.join with timeout
        TIMED_WAITING,
        TERMINATED;
    }
