Hi,
I'm trying to write a program using Threads. I want to pass a value
into the run() method of the Thread and I want to return an ArrayList
from the run method. I'm passing the value in via the constructor of
the threaded class and then using a getValue() method in the the run()
method to acces the value passed in
To retrieve the ArrayList I've declared it as an instance variable, and
in the run() method I'm adding to the ArrayList. Then I have a
getList() method to get the populated List.
I start the Thread like this:
Thread t = new Thread(parameter); //parameter is the value I'm
passing in.
t.start();
list = t.getList(); // This is the method I created to retrieve the
populated list
Its not returning a the list as I want. The list appears to be empty.
Is the above the right way to go about this. I'm particularly unsure
about the line list=t.getList() , after I call the start method.
Any help would be appreciated.
