[ACCEPTED]-Can I start a thread again after it has died?-multithreading
No, you can't. And the Javadoc for the Thread.start()
method 1 tells you that!
From a comment:
Is there anything else I 7 could do to re-start a thread?
You could 6 use ThreadPoolExecutor
, which would allow you to pass in tasks 5 and let the service assign a thread to a 4 task. When the task is finished, the thread 3 goes idle until it gets the next task.
So, you 2 don't restart a thread, but you would redo/resume 1 a task.
From the javadoc:
It is never legal to start 9 a thread more than once. In particular, a thread 8 may not be restarted once it has completed 7 execution.
See the Thread.start() javadoc for more information.
There 6 are other ways to accomplish what you are 5 trying to do. For example, you could use 4 new Threads that continue the work that 3 was done in the Thread that has finished 2 execution. You may also want to investigate 1 the java.util.concurrent package.
