Question

I found the method of JavaDoc:

Returns:
true if this thread has been interrupted; false otherwise.

I think something wrong with my understanding of the method. Further, I may misunderstand the concept ‘interrupt’ in Thread.

Any explanation is welcome! Thank you!

Code snippet:

In thread definition:

public void run() {
        try {
            //Do something
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            System.out.println(isInterrupted());//Always false
            return;
        }
    }

invoke:

theThread.interrupt();

Answer 1

Once the exception is thrown, the thread is no longer in an interrupted state.
