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, or
null if the request to
create a thread is rejected
