从我在Java中使用线程的时间来看,我发现了两种编写线程的方法:

使用可运行的机具:

public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
    public void run() {
        //Code
    }
}
//Started with a "new Thread(new MyRunnable()).start()" call

或者,使用扩展线程:

public class MyThread extends Thread {
    public MyThread() {
        super("MyThread");
    }
    public void run() {
        //Code
    }
}
//Started with a "new MyThread().start()" call

这两个代码块有什么显著的区别吗?


当前回答

Thread和Runnable的主要区别在于:-线程类似于:Worker(执行Runnable)-可运行的类似于:作业(由线程执行)

其他回答

我不是专家,但我能想到实现Runnable而不是扩展Thread的一个原因:Java只支持单一继承,因此只能扩展一个类。

编辑:这原本是说“实现一个接口需要更少的资源”,但无论如何都需要创建一个新的线程实例,所以这是错误的。

您可以共同使用它们

例子:

public class A implements Runnable{

    @Override
    public void run() {


        while(true){
             System.out.println("Class A is running");
        try {
            Thread.sleep(3000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }}

    }

}



public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Thread myThread =new Thread(new A());// 1
        myThread.start();
        System.out.println(" executed after thread A");//will never be reached

    }

} 

这也许不是答案,但无论如何;还有一种创建线程的方法:

Thread t = new Thread() {
    public void run() {
        // Code here
    }
}

对于大多数工作线程来说,最好的方法是将线程完全封装在工作线程类中,这样就不会有任何外部干扰,导致不需要的和无效的线程/类状态。

我刚刚发布了一个示例,因此我也将与您分享:

/**
 * This worker can only run once
 * @author JayC667
 */
public class ProperThreading {

    private final Thread        mThread         = new Thread(() -> runWorkingLoop());   // if you want worker to be able to run multiple times, move initialisation into startThread()
    private volatile boolean    mThreadStarted  = false;
    private volatile boolean    mStopRequested  = false;

    private final long          mLoopSleepTime;

    public ProperThreading(final long pLoopSleepTime /* pass more arguments here, store in members */ ) {
        mLoopSleepTime = pLoopSleepTime;
    }

    public synchronized void startThread() {
        if (mThreadStarted) throw new IllegalStateException("Worker Thread may only be started once and is already running!");
        mThreadStarted = true;
        mThread.start();
    }

    private void runWorkingLoop() {
        while (!mStopRequested /* && other checks */ ) {
            try {
                // do the magic work here
                Thread.sleep(mLoopSleepTime);

            } catch (final InterruptedException e) {
                break;
            } catch (final Exception e) {
                // do at least some basic handling here, you should NEVER ignore exception unless you know exactly what you're doing, and then it should be commented!
            }
        }
    }

    public synchronized void stopThread() {
        if (!mThreadStarted) throw new IllegalStateException("Worker Thread is not even running yet!");
        mStopRequested = true;
        mThread.interrupt();
    }

}

我会说实际任务与线程分离。在Runnable的情况下,我们可以将任务传递给线程、执行器框架等,而通过扩展Thread任务则与线程对象本身耦合。在扩展线程的情况下,无法执行任务隔离。这就像我们将任务烧成线程对象,就像IC芯片一样(更具体地说,不会得到任务的任何句柄)。
