Java Thread join() Method

The Java Thread join() method waits for this thread to die.

Following is the declaration for java.lang.Thread.join() method

public final void join() throws InterruptedException

NA

This method does not return any value.

InterruptedException − if any thread has interrupted the current thread. The interrupted status of the current thread is cleared when this exception is thrown.

The following example shows the usage of Java Thread join() method. In this program, we've created a thread class ThreadDemo by implementing Runnable interface. In constructor, current thread is retrieved using currentThread() method. Its name is printed and using isAlive(), its status is checked whether thread is live or not.

In main method, We've created a Thread using ThreadDemo and using start() method, thread is started. Now using join(), thread is set to wait to die and then thread name is printed and again using isAlive(), its status being alive is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class ThreadDemo implements Runnable {

   public void run() {

      Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
      System.out.print(t.getName());
      
      //checks if this thread is alive
      System.out.println(", status = " + t.isAlive());
   }

   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

      Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadDemo());
      
      // this will call run() function
      t.start();
	  
      t.join();
      System.out.print(t.getName());
      
      //checks if this thread is alive
      System.out.println(", status = " + t.isAlive());
   }
} 

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

Thread-0, status = true
Thread-0, status = false
