Can I name this Thread instance? [Solved]

Question

I wanna interrupt this tread later on but I don't know how I can do it. I can't name it anyhow!

new Thread(() -> {
while (true) {
System.out.println("Thread is running");
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}).start();

Answer 1

You just need to use a different constructor with your lambda.

Answer 2

Thank you both a lot. I was frustrated! Thanks.

Answer 3

I would say you can't.

You can't name the tread and while(true) is an infinity loop.

I would create an object: Thread t = new Thread();

Answer 4

Maybe this works:

Thread myThread = new Thread() -> {

//your code

}).start();

Answer 5

Despite I've done this a hundred times and see the red line below my code, finally this type of declaration worked. I used to get the error because of .start() method at the end of my code! in this way we have to call the start() method after declaration.

Thread t1 = new Thread(() -> {
// bunch of code...
});
t1.start();

Answer 6

So how can I put this infinite loop and other stuff in it? Cause I just simplified the contents of while loop.
