Create a second thread by extending Thread : Create Thread « Thread « Java Tutorial






class NewThread extends Thread {

  NewThread() {
    super("Demo Thread");
    System.out.println("Child thread: " + this);
    start(); // Start the thread
  }

  public void run() {

      }
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {

    }
    System.out.println("Exiting child thread.");
  }
}

class ExtendThread {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
