Interface ThreadFactory
public interface ThreadFactory
An object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories
removes hardwiring of calls to new Thread,
enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc.
The simplest implementation of this interface is just:
class SimpleThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory {
public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
return new Thread(r);
}
}
The Executors.defaultThreadFactory() method provides a more
useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context
to known values before returning it.
- Since:
- 1.5
newThread
Thread newThread(Runnable r)
- Constructs a new Thread. Implementations may also initialize
priority, name, daemon status, ThreadGroup, etc.
- Parameters:
r - a runnable to be executed by new thread instance
- Returns:
- constructed thread
