Thread execution

[Anuj Joshi]

Hi..

I have written a code in a thread & need to execute this code completely & then it should execute code outside the thread.

what I want the execution of the below code(i.e. code-2) should be executed after thread. how can I do this??

Thread objThread = new Thread()
 {
     public void run()
    {
          try
          {
	while (lStartPos < lFileSize)
	{
	   oFileOStream = new FileOutputStream(file, true);
	   nlength = lFileSize - lStartPos;
	   if (nlength < m_lNoOfBytesToRead)
	   {
	       m_lNoOfBytesToRead = nlength;
	   }
	   arrRetVal = m_objConnectionUtil.download(fileURL, (int) lStartPos,
	   (int) m_lNoOfBytesToRead);
	   StartPos += m_lNoOfBytesToRead;
	   oFileOStream.write(arrRetVal);
	   bDownload = true;
	   zPer = (float) ((float) lStartPos / (float) lFileSize) * 100;
	   j = (int) iPer;
	   if (panel != null)
	  {
	    m_progressBar.setValue(j);
	    System.out.println("Set value is "+j);
	  }
	   oFileOStream.close();
	}						
         }
        Catch(Exception e)
       {
	e.printStackTrace();
       }
   }
};
objThread.start();

if(lStartPos==lFileSize)             // this should be executed after above thread's execution as I want to 
                                              // compare these 2 values which are set into above run() method.
{		
    System.out.println("lStartPos : "+lStartPos);
    bDownload = true;
}

Please be careful which forum you post in. I am sure Rob and Maneesh won't mind if I move this thread.
Your code is very difficult to read; you would do better to post an SSCCE.

You can use java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch

If what you are asking is the ability to execute a code after a thread has finished execution, all you need is a join

I'm not sure if I understand the question but if you want a certain code to be executed after a certain thread finish executing his task you should use a ThreadPoolExecutor and rewrite the afterExecute method . hope this helps
