Question

I’ve the following problem with an app:
In order to perform some actions in background I declare a ThreadPoolExecutor

private static ThreadPoolExecutor poolExecutor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(5, 100,
         100, TimeUnit.SECONDS, new ArrayBlockingQueue<Runnable>(100));

And then I run the task making

poolExecutor.execute (new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            Process.getThreadPriority(Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);
             ...
        }

But the app crashes at that point saying:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Given thread does not exist

Whats the problem with the code? Thanks

Answer 1

You probably mean setThreadPriority instead of getThreadPriority

poolExecutor.execute (new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        Process.setThreadPriority(Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);
         ...
    }
