Question

I am working on multithreading in java and created 1 thread here is the code:

class SampleThread extends Thread
    {
        int time;
        String name;
        boolean autocall;
        public SampleThread(int time, String name)
        {
            this.time = time;
            this.name = name;
        }

          public void run()
          { 
              try{
                  time = time +1;
                  updateView(time, name);
                  //sleep(3000);
              }catch(Exception e)
              {
                  e.printStackTrace();
              }
            //this.stop();
          }     
    }

Now I want to run this thread every 3 seconds how to achieve this??

Answer 1

I’d recommend not doing it this way. Have a look at the new classes (well, not so new) in the java.util.concurrent package, especially ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.
