How to Create Threads in Java by Implementing Runnable Interface


                                                     


1.  Let your class implement “Runnable” interface.

2.  Now override the “public void run()” method and write your logic there (This is the method which will be executed when this thread is started).

That’s it, now you can start this thread as given below

1. Create an object of the above class

2.  Allocate a thread object for our thread

3.  Call the method “start” on the allocated thread object.

First Thread

public class FirstThread implements Runnable 
{   
  
  public void run()     
  {                 
    
    for ( int i=1; i<=10; i++)       
    {           
        //Displaying the numbers from this thread           
        System.out.println( "Messag from First Thread : " +i);                      
  
       /*taking a delay of one second before displaying next number               
        *             
        * "Thread.sleep(1000);" - when this statement is executed,            
        * this thread will sleep for 1000 milliseconds (1 second)            
        * before executing the next statement.            
        *             
        * Since we are making this thread to sleep for one second,            
        * we need to handle "InterruptedException". Our thread            
        * may throw this exception if it is interrupted while it              
        * is sleeping.            
        *             
        */         
        try            
        {               
           Thread.sleep (1000);             
        }           
        catch (InterruptedException interruptedException)           
        {               
           /*Interrupted exception will be thrown when a sleeping or waiting 
            *thread is interrupted.                   
            */             
            System.out.println( "First Thread is interrupted when it is sleeping" +interruptedException);           
        }   
    }   
  } 
}  

Second Thread


public class SecondThread implements Runnable 
{   
   //This method will be executed when this thread is executed  
   public void run()    
   {            
      //Looping from 1 to 10 to display numbers from 1 to 10        
      for ( int i=1; i<=10; i++)         
      {             
         System.out.println( "Messag from Second Thread : " +i);                        
         
        /*taking a delay of one second before displaying next number              
         *            
         * "Thread.sleep(1000);" - when this statement is executed,               
         * this thread will sleep for 1000 milliseconds (1 second)            
         * before executing the next statement.               
         *           
         * Since we are making this thread to sleep for one second,               
         * we need to handle "InterruptedException". Our thread               
         * may throw this exception if it is interrupted while it             
         * is sleeping.               
         */            
         try           
         {              
             Thread.sleep(1000);            
         }          
         catch (InterruptedException interruptedException)          
         {              
            /*Interrupted exception will be thrown when a sleeping or waiting                 
             * thread is interrupted.                 
             */                
             System.out.println( "Second Thread is interrupted when it is sleeping" +interruptedException);             
         }      
      }     
    }  


MAIN CLASS

public class ThreadDemo
{
     public static void main(String args[])
     {
        //Creating an object of the first thread
        FirstThread   firstThread = new FirstThread();
      
        //Creating an object of the Second thread
        SecondThread   secondThread = new SecondThread();
      
        //Starting the first thread
        Thread thread1 = new Thread(firstThread);
        thread1.start();
      
        //Starting the second thread
        Thread thread2 = new Thread(secondThread);
        thread2.start();
     }
}
