Java Examples - Get the Current Thread Name
Java ExamplesThe following example demonstrates how to get the current thread name by extending the Thread class and using the getName() method:
TwoThreadGetName.java file
public class TwoThreadGetName extends Thread {
public void run() {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
printMsg();
}
}
public void printMsg() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
String name = t.getName();
System.out.println("name=" + name);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
TwoThreadGetName tt = new TwoThreadGetName();
tt.start();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
tt.printMsg();
}
}
}
The output of the above code execution is:
name=main name=main name=main name=main name=main name=Thread-0 name=Thread-0 name=Thread-0 name=Thread-0 name=Thread-0 name=main name=Thread-0 name=main name=Thread-0 name=main name=Thread-0 name=main name=Thread-0 name=main name=Thread-0Other Extensions
