Java Thread类有个 join() 方法,先前一直不知道是怎么用的,直到看到这篇文章。http://auguslee.iteye.com/blog/1292203
Java Thread中, join() 方法主要是让调用该方法的thread完成run方法里面的东西后, 再执行join()方法后面的代码。示例:
class ThreadTesterA implements Runnable {
private int counter;
@Override
public void run() {
while (counter <= 10) {
System.out.print("Counter = " + counter + " ");
counter++;
}
System.out.println();
}
}
class ThreadTesterB implements Runnable {
private int i;
@Override
public void run() {
while (i <= 10) {
System.out.print("i = " + i + " ");
i++;
}
System.out.println();
}
}
public class ThreadTester {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
Thread t1 = new Thread(new ThreadTesterA());
Thread t2 = new Thread(new ThreadTesterB());
t1.start();
t1.join(); // wait t1 to be finished
t2.start();
t2.join(); // in this program, this may be removed
}
}
t1启动后,调用join()方法,直到t1的计数任务结束,才轮到t2启动,然后t2也开始计数任务。可以看到,实例中,两个线程就按着严格的顺序来执行了。
如果t2的执行需要依赖于t1中的完整数据的时候,这种方法就可以很好的确保两个线程的同步性。
