To get the state of a thread use getState()
method of a Thread
class. One thing to be noted is that this method is designed for use in monitoring of the system state, not for synchronization control.
package org.kodejava.lang;
public class GetThreadState implements Runnable {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Thread thread = new Thread(new GetThreadState());
thread.start();
// Get the state of the thread.
Thread.State state = thread.getState();
System.out.println("State: " + state.name());
}
public void run() {
System.out.println("Start..");
}
}
