In this tutorial, we are using Thread.currentThread() method to find the current thread name.
Thread.currentThread() :
Thread class provides method to display the current running thread. It is static Thread method so that there is no need to call a reference to a Thread object. It returns the current running thread object reference.
public static Thread currentThread() : This method returns a reference to the currently running thread object.
Example : In this example we are displaying the current running thread by calling currentThread() method.
class NewCurrentThread implements Runnable {
NewCurrentThread(String name) {
Thread thread = new Thread(this, name);
thread.start();
}
public void run() {
/* Returns currently executing thread object. */
Thread thread = Thread.currentThread();
System.out.println("Welcome in Thread " + thread.getName());
}
}
public class CurrentThread {
public static void main(String args[]) {
new NewCurrentThread("One");
new NewCurrentThread("Two");
}
}
Output :
Welcome in Thread One Welcome in Thread Two
