How to check whether a thread has started in Java?

See English answers > in Java, how do you determine if a thread is running? 8

I will start this post at some time

After a period of time, I need to check whether the thread has started?

So I can start at that point

My thread class is,

public class BasicChatListener extends Thread{

    public void run(){


    }

}

Do I need to know if a particular thread of the basicchatlistener class is running? Because there are already multiple threads running in my application

How will our stack members help me

Solution

You can use thread Getstate () and use the corresponding states
