public interface ThreadFactory
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.Modifier and Type | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
Thread | newThread(Runnable r) | Constructs a new Thread . |
