Thread.interrupt()方法不会中断一个正在运行的线程。这一方法实际上完成的是,在线程受到阻塞时抛出一个中断信号,这样线程就得以退出 阻塞的状态。更确切的说,如果线程被Object.wait, Thread.join,Thread.sleep三种方法之一阻塞,那么,它将接收到一个中断异常(InterruptedException),从而提早地终结被阻塞状态。
建议使用外部的布尔变量进行控制,比如:
class MyThread extends Thread
{
volatile boolean finished = false;
public void stopMe()
{
finished = true;
}
public void run()
{
while (!finished)
{
//do dirty work
}
}
}
public class AlternateStop implements Runnable {
private volatile boolean stopRequested;
private Thread runThread;
public void run() {
runThread = Thread.currentThread();
stopRequested = false;
int count = 0;
while (!stopRequested) {
System.out.println("Running ... count=" + count);
count++;
try {
Thread.sleep(300);
} catch (InterruptedException x) {
System.out.println("捕获异常后---"+Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted());
Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); // re-assert interrupt
System.out.println("重新设置打断状态---"+Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted());
}
}
System.out.println("stoped");
}
public void stopRequest() {
stopRequested = true;
if (runThread != null) {
runThread.interrupt();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
AlternateStop as = new AlternateStop();
Thread t = new Thread(as);
t.start();
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException x) {
// ignore
}
as.stopRequest();
}
}
注意当一个阻塞方法检测到中断并抛出 InterruptedException 时,它清除中断状态,为了让上层代码知道 该线程的状态,重新设置打断状态。
System.out.println("捕获异常后---"+Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted());
Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); // re-assert interrupt
System.out.println("重新设置打断状态---"+Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted());
以上三行代码会打印:
捕获异常后---false
重新设置打断状态---true
