Welcome to the website of Davis Fiore

The methods Thread.resume(), Thread.suspend() and Thread.stop() are deprecated. Now you can implement your own methods using wait() , notify() and a state flag.

This is my code example:

public enum State {
	ACTIVE,SUSPENDED,STOPPED;
}

public class MyThread implements Runnable {

	private State currState;
	
	public MyThread() {
		this.currState = State.ACTIVE;
	}
	
	@Override
	public void run() {
		try {
			while(currState != State.STOPPED) {
				Thread.sleep(1000);
				synchronized (this) {
					while(currState == State.SUSPENDED)
						this.wait(); // Here I'm suspended

					// Here I'm released

				}
			}

			// Here I'm stopped

		} catch (InterruptedException e) {

			e.printStackTrace();

			// Set interrupt state again, as the thread has no interruption policy
			Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
		}	
	}
	
	synchronized void suspendThread() {
		this.currState = State.SUSPENDED;
	}

	synchronized void resumeThread() {
		this.currState = State.ACTIVE;
		this.notify();
	}
	
	synchronized void stopThread() {
		this.currState = State.STOPPED;
		this.notify();
	}
}
