Approaches to create threads

 July 12, 2014     Java     No comments   

There are 2 approaches to create threads in Java either using a Runnable object or to Subclass Thread.

Runnable object

In this approach, the class implements Runnable interface which defines a single method run. The Runnable object is passed to the thread constructor. Using the Runnable object is the most general approach because the Runnable object can subclass another class other than Thread.
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
  public void run() {
    System.out.println("I am thread!");
  }
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Thread t = new Thread(new MyRunnable());
    t.start();
  }
}

Subclass Thread

In this approach, the class extends the Thread class. This is simple to use but limited in the sense that the class must be descendant of Thread.
public class MyThread extends Thread {
  public void run() {
    System.out.println("I am thread!");
  }
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Thread t = new MyThread();
    t.start();
  }
}
