Compare Threads

[vampir]

Lets say i have got such code inside class:

ScheduledFuture<?> thread;
private void startThread()
{
thread = ThreadPoolManager.getInstance().schedule(new TestThread(), 5000);
}

private class TestThread implements Runnable
{
@Override
public void run()
{
System.out.println(thread.equals(TestThread.this));
}
}

 

It prints false to console, any idea to check if saved in var thread is running thread?

[Fanky]

class nameclass implements Runnable 
{
namethread runner;
public RunnableThread(String threadName) {
	namethread = new Thread(this, threadName); 
	System.out.println(runner.getName());
	namethread.start(); 
}
public void run() {
	System.out.println(Thread.currentThread());
}
}

 

dunno if you wanna smth like this,

didn't used eclipse,i may have miss some tokens,dunno ;p

:O thx a lot for an idea, final version will be:

Thread thread;
private void startThread()
{
ThreadPoolManager.getInstance().schedule(new TestThread(), 5000);
}

private class TestThread implements Runnable
{
Thread current;
private TestThred()
{
current = Thread.currentThread();
thread = current;
}
@Override
public void run()
{
System.out.println(thread.equals(current));
}
}

thx, i think its the best way to achieve that :)

glad that i helped :P

 

may i ask why you need it?;p

[vampir]

the problem in this code, is that thread nor the current variable cannot be stopped at all, i tried interrupt() and also stop() methods but finally System.out.println(thread.equals(current)); is done every time.

I tried also to make new method in TestThread class to set "finished" boolean as false and later put IF before print but i cannot cast TestThread into a Thread class :/

To stop a Thread from ThreadPoolManager, it's .cancel(boolean) *AND* put the task to null, aka "_task = null;".

cancel method is inside ScheduledFuture or Future classes, not Thread :)

I never said that, I just said the correct mean to stop a thread, as you seem to get issues as you do weird things about comparing threads which is a nonsense until you got an issue with threads which made me thought about saying to you the correct way to stop a thread.

I resolved it in different way. When player is cancelling other player buffs, new Thread starts and it is added to a List of Threads. When Thread is finished, i am deleting it from list by checking Thread.currentThread() as before. I need the list because sometimes i want to cancel all Threads and clear the list. But i thought that i will not cancel them, but when thread starts to work(after sleeping :P) he will just check at the beggining, if its on the list. Thx for help :)

guys dont laugh at me..but i have to make a suggetion.what if you type break; under

System.out.println(thread.equals(TestThread.this));

u will have error :P break can be used only inside switches and loops and anyway it wouldnt change anything :)

A list of threads ? Gods. Help. Him.

 

Take a look on AttackStanceTaskManager... A unique thread with a unique map. On aCis, I did PvPFlag, Watertask and TakeBreak tasks looking as AttackStance.
