Example: Getting name of the Thread created using Runnable Interface

The following example shows the usage of Java Thread getName() method. In this program, we've created a class ThreadDemo by implementing Runnable interface. In constructor, we've created a new thread with default name as Admin Thread and printed the same. Using start() method, thread is started. In run() method, using getName(), the name of the thread is printed. In main method, ThreadDemo object is created.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class ThreadDemo implements Runnable {

   Thread t;
   ThreadDemo() {
    
      // thread created
      t = new Thread(this, "Admin Thread");
      
      // set thread priority
      t.setPriority(1);
      
      // print thread created
      System.out.println("thread  = " + t);
      
      // this will call run() function
      t.start();
   }

   public void run() {
      // returns the name of this Thread.
      System.out.println("Name = " + t.getName());
   }

   public static void main(String args[]) {
      new ThreadDemo();
   }
} 
Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

thread = Thread[Admin Thread,1,main]
Name = Admin Thread
Example: Getting name of the Thread created using Thread class

The following example shows the usage of Java Thread getName() method. In this program, we've created a class ThreadDemo by extending Thread class. In constructor, we've created a new thread with default name as Admin Thread and printed the same. Using start() method, thread is started. In run() method, using getName(), the name of the thread is printed. In main method, ThreadDemo object is created.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class ThreadDemo extends Thread {

   Thread t;
   ThreadDemo() {
    
      // thread created
      t = new Thread(this, "Admin Thread");
      
      // set thread priority
      t.setPriority(1);
      
      // print thread created
      System.out.println("thread  = " + t);
      
      // this will call run() function
      t.start();
   }

   public void run() {
      // returns the name of this Thread.
      System.out.println("Name = " + t.getName());
   }

   public static void main(String args[]) {
      new ThreadDemo();
   }
} 
Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

thread = Thread[Admin Thread,1,main]
Name = Admin Thread
