现在在Kotlin中，你可以这样运行线程:

class SimpleRunnable: Runnable {
    public override fun run() {
        println("${Thread.currentThread()} has run.")
    }
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val thread = SimpleThread()
    thread.start() // Will output: Thread[Thread-0,5,main] has run.
    val runnable = SimpleRunnable()
    val thread1 = Thread(runnable)
    thread1.start() // Will output: Thread[Thread-1,5,main] has run
}

一个有趣的例子是，你可以连续看到一个计数器/秒表在不同的线程中运行。还显示gps定位。而主活动用户界面线程已经在那里。

摘录:

try {    
    cnt++; scnt++;
    now=System.currentTimeMillis();
    r=rand.nextInt(6); r++;    
    loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(best);    

    if(loc!=null) { 
        lat=loc.getLatitude();
        lng=loc.getLongitude(); 
    }    

    Thread.sleep(100); 
    handler.sendMessage(handler.obtainMessage());
} catch (InterruptedException e) {   
    Toast.makeText(this, "Error="+e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

要查看代码，请参见这里:

private lateinit var runnable: Runnable
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    val handler = Handler()
    runnable = Runnable {
        // do your work
        handler.postDelayed(runnable, 2000)
    }
    handler.postDelayed(runnable, 2000)
}

Java

Runnable runnable;
Handler handler;

@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    handler = new Handler();
    runnable = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            // do your work
            handler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
        }
    };
    handler.postDelayed(runnable, 1000);
}

如果我正确理解Handler.post()方法的文档:

导致Runnable r被添加到消息队列。可运行对象将在附加此处理程序的线程上运行。

所以@alex2k8提供的例子，即使工作正常，也是不一样的。 在使用Handler.post()的情况下，不会创建新的线程。您只需将Runnable与Handler一起发布到由EDT执行的线程。 在此之后，EDT只执行Runnable.run()，不执行其他任何操作。

记住: 可运行!=线程。

现在在Kotlin中，你可以这样运行线程:

class SimpleRunnable: Runnable {
    public override fun run() {
        println("${Thread.currentThread()} has run.")
    }
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val thread = SimpleThread()
    thread.start() // Will output: Thread[Thread-0,5,main] has run.
    val runnable = SimpleRunnable()
    val thread1 = Thread(runnable)
    thread1.start() // Will output: Thread[Thread-1,5,main] has run
}

Handler handler=new Handler();
Runnable r = new Runnable(){
    public void run() {
        tv.append("Hello World");                       
        handler.postDelayed(r, 1000);
    }
}; 
handler.post(r);
