Java Current Thread

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
