Java线程编程中isAlive()和join()的使用详解

一个线程如何知道另一线程已经结束？Thread类提供了回答此问题的方法。

有两种方法可以判定一个线程是否结束。第一，可以在线程中调用isAlive()。这种方法由Thread定义，它的通常形式如下：

?

1	final boolean isAlive( )

如果所调用线程仍在运行，isAlive()方法返回true，如果不是则返回false。但isAlive（）很少用到，等待线程结束的更常用的方法是调用join()，描述如下：

?

1	final void join( ) throws InterruptedException

该方法等待所调用线程结束。该名字来自于要求线程等待直到指定线程参与的概念。join()的附加形式允许给等待指定线程结束定义一个最大时间。下面是前面例子的改进版本。运用join()以确保主线程最后结束。同样，它也演示了isAlive()方法。

// Using join() to wait for threads to finish. class NewThread implements Runnable {    String name; // name of thread    Thread t;    NewThread(String threadname) {      name = threadname;      t = new Thread( this , name);      System.out.println( "New thread: " + t);      t.start(); // Start the thread    }    // This is the entry point for thread.    public void run() {      try {        for ( int i = 5 ; i > 0 ; i--) {          System.out.println(name + ": " + i);          Thread.sleep( 1000 );        }      } catch (InterruptedException e) {        System.out.println(name + " interrupted." );      }      System.out.println(name + " exiting." );    } }   class DemoJoin {    public static void main(String args[]) {      NewThread ob1 = new NewThread( "One" );      NewThread ob2 = new NewThread( "Two" );      NewThread ob3 = new NewThread( "Three" );      System.out.println( "Thread One is alive: " + ob1.t.isAlive());      System.out.println( "Thread Two is alive: " + ob2.t.isAlive());      System.out.println( "Thread Three is alive: " + ob3.t.isAlive());      // wait for threads to finish      try {        System.out.println( "Waiting for threads to finish." );        ob1.t.join();        ob2.t.join();        ob3.t.join();      } catch (InterruptedException e) {        System.out.println( "Main thread Interrupted" );      }      System.out.println( "Thread One is alive: " + ob1.t.isAlive());      System.out.println( "Thread Two is alive: " + ob2.t.isAlive());      System.out.println( "Thread Three is alive: " + ob3.t.isAlive());      System.out.println( "Main thread exiting." );    } }

程序输出如下所示：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

New thread: Thread[One,5,main] New thread: Thread[Two,5,main] New thread: Thread[Three,5,main] Thread One is alive: true Thread Two is alive: true Thread Three is alive: true Waiting for threads to finish. One: 5 Two: 5 Three: 5 One: 4 Two: 4 Three: 4 One: 3 Two: 3 Three: 3 One: 2 Two: 2 Three: 2 One: 1 Two: 1 Three: 1 Two exiting. Three exiting. One exiting. Thread One is alive: false Thread Two is alive: false Thread Three is alive: false Main thread exiting.

如你所见，调用join()后返回，线程终止执行。
