● Thread methods
● Synchronization
● Inter thread communication
● Deadlock
Thread Methods

public final void setName(String name)

public final void setPriority(int priority)

public final void setDaemon(boolean on)

public final void join(long millisec)

public void interrupt()

public final boolean isAlive()


Static methods

public static void yield()

public static void sleep(long millisec)

Synchronization

Syntax
synchronized(objectidentifier) {

// Access shared variables and other shared resources

}
Example
class ThreadDemo extends Thread {
private Thread t;
private String threadName;
class PrintDemo { PrintDemo PD;
public void printCount() {
try { ThreadDemo( String name, PrintDemo pd) {
for(int i = 5; i > 0; i--) { threadName = name;
System.out.println("Counter --- " + i ); PD = pd;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) { public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread interrupted."); synchronized(PD){
} PD.printCount();
} }
} System.out.println("Thread " + threadName + " exiting.");
}

public void start () {


System.out.println("Starting " + threadName );
if (t == null) {
t = new Thread (this, threadName);
t.start ();
}
}
}
Main method class
public class TestThread {
public static void main(String args[]) {

PrintDemo PD = new PrintDemo();

ThreadDemo T1 = new ThreadDemo( "Thread - 1 ", PD );


ThreadDemo T2 = new ThreadDemo( "Thread - 2 ", PD );

T1.start();
T2.start();

// wait for threads to end


try {
T1.join();
T2.join();
} catch ( Exception e) {
System.out.println("Interrupted");
}
}
Inter thread communication

Interthread communication is important when you develop an application where two or more threads exchange
some information.

Methods:

public void wait()

public void notify()

public void notifyAll()


Deadlock

● Deadlock describes a situation where two or more threads are blocked forever, waiting for each other.
● Deadlock occurs when multiple threads need the same locks but obtain them in different order.
● A Java multithreaded program may suffer from the deadlock condition because the synchronized
keyword causes the executing thread to block while waiting for the lock, or monitor, associated with the
specified object.
