Methods
Name Description
activeCount() Returns the current number of active threads in this thread group.
checkAccess() Determines if the currently running thread has permission to modify this thread.
countStackFrames() Counts the number of stack frames in this thread.
currentThread() Returns a reference to the currently executing thread object.
destroy() Destroys this thread, without any cleanup.
dumpStack() Prints a stack trace of the current thread.
enumerate(Thread[]) Copies into the specified array every active thread in this thread group and its subgroups.
getName() Returns this thread's name.
getPriority() Returns this thread's priority.
getThreadGroup() Returns this thread's thread group.
interrupt() Interrupts this thread.
interrupted() Tests if the current thread has been interrupted.
isAlive() Tests if this thread is alive.
isDaemon() Tests if this thread is a daemon thread.
isInterrupted() Tests if the current thread has been interrupted.
join() Waits for this thread to die.
join(long) Waits at most millis milliseconds for this thread to die.
join(long, int) Waits at most millis milliseconds plus nanos nanoseconds for this thread to die.

stop() Forces the thread to stop executing.
stop(Throwable) Forces the thread to stop executing.
