how to differentiate between two threads
I have the following code in my program:
Thread getUsersist, getChatUsers;
getUsersList = new Thread(this, "getOnlineUsers");
getUsersList.start();
getChatUsers = new Thread(this, "getChatUsers");
getChatUsers.start();
In run(), I wish to know which thread is using run(). If its "getOnlineUsers" i will do something, If it is "getChatUsers" 开发者_如何学GoI will do something else. So how do I know which thread is using run()?
In run()
, you can do:
Thread.currentThread().getName()
to get either "getOnlineUsers" or "getChatUsers" and take a different code path accordingly. That said, it seems like a rather fragile design to me and I'd imagine you'd be far better off with separate classes for each thread.
if (getName().equals("getOnlineUsers")) {
doOneThing();
else if (getName().equals("getChatUsers")) {
doAnotherThing();
} else {
throw Up();
}
