In the case of an IM client. I have made 2 separate threads to handle sending packets (by std io) and receiving packets. The question is how to make these 2 threads run simultaneously so that I can keep prompting for input while at the same time be ready to receive packets at any time?

I have already tried setting a timer but the data is always lost receiving.

  1. I think you might have missed something significant with either Threads, Streams or both 🙂

    You can start a new thread like this:

     myThread.start();

    The thread will be started and the run() method will be executed automatically by the jvm.

    If the threads run-method is reading from a Stream, and it is the only one reading, it will not ‘miss’ anything in that stream.
