java.lang public class Thread.State
extends Enum
A thread state. A thread can be in one of the following states:
NEW A thread that has not yet started is in this state.
RUNNABLE A thread executing in the Java virtual machine is in this state.
BLOCKED A thread that is blocked waiting for a monitor lock is in this state.
WAITING A thread that is waiting indefinitely for another thread to perform a particular action is in this state.
TIMED_WAITING A thread that is waiting for another thread to perform an action for up to a specified waiting time is in this state.
TERMINATED A thread that has exited is in this state.
A thread can be in only one state at a given point in time. These states are virtual machine states which do not reflect any operating system thread states.
