How do I implement a Timed thread in Java 8?

3192389

Hello,

I hope this is the correct forum.  (Java 8?)

Anyway, how would I start to implement this code with Java 8:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
                   
        Wait wait = new Wait(10000); //wait for ten seconds

        try
        {
            wait.StartWait(); //return immediately
            Thread.sleep(11000);
            wait.StopWait();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            System.out.print("Timer timed out.");
        }

        System.out.print("Success!");       
    }

Again, I need to return immediately from the StartWait method.

Thank you.

In order to create a thread in java you instantiate an Object of - java.lang.Thread class.

Now in the constructor of that object you need to provide -Runnable Type.

Runnable is an interface in Java. Go and implement it in your class and override the public void run(){} ..

That it Folks!!!

Hi 3192389,

In order to multithread you must extend the Thread class or implement Runnable:

public class YourThread implements Runnable{

}

                          -or-

class YourThread extends Thread {

}

Then of course define components and behavior within the class, and utilize them in the  main class. Your code appears to include an invalid method: "startwait()"

Separate this into:

-start()

-notify() //to resume

Also, utilize setPriority() to ensure the threads conform to your design. If you need a more detailed explanation, let me know, and I will provide sample code.

Best,

Sam D.
