What is the run() method?

August 12th, 2008 by uCertify Leave a reply »

The run() method belongs to the Runnable interface. It is used to instantiate a new thread.

The signature of the run() method is as follows:

public void run()

The run() method is very similar to the main() method, as it is the entry point for a thread. The run() method can be called either directly or through the start() method, in which case a new thread will be started. Calling the run() method directly does not start a new thread.

When a thread comes out of the run() method, it is said to be dead. Once dead, it cannot be restarted by any means.
