java线程数据结构,Java多线程 - 将数据结构传递给线程

The application, I am writing, generates an ArrayList of Characters at certain stage. At this stage, I am trying create a thread to process this ArrayList. The problem is how do I pass this ArrayList to the thread

Descriptive Code:

class thisApp {

/* Some initial processing creates an ArrayList - aList */

Runnable proExec = new ProcessList (); //ProcessList implements Runnable

Thread th = new Thread(proExec);

}

Descriptive Code For ProcessList:

public class ProcessList implements Runnable {

public void run() {

/* Access the ArrayList - aList - and do something upon */

}

}

My problem is: How do I pass and access aList in run()?

解决方案

You can simply pass aList to the ProcessList's constructor, which can retain the reference until it's needed:

class thisApp {

/* Some initial processing creates an ArrayList - aList */

Runnable proExec = new ProcessList (aList);

Thread th = new Thread(proExec);

}

public class ProcessList implements Runnable {

private final ArrayList aList;

public ProcessList(ArrayList aList) {

this.aList = aList;

}

public void run() {

/* use this.aList */

}

}

N.B. If aList will be accessed concurrently by multiple threads, with one or more threads modifying it, all relevant code will need to be synchronized.
