Thread.start

Class Overview | Class Members | This Package | All Packages

Syntax
public native synchronized void start()
Description
Causes this thread to begin execution; the Java Virtual Machine calls the run method of this thread.

The result is that two threads are running concurrently: the current thread (which returns from the call to the start method) and the other thread (which executes its run method).

Exceptions
IllegalThreadStateException if the thread was already started.
