Programming Answer: How to implement multiple threads in Java

How do I implement multiple threads in Java?

From stackoverflow

Start here: Java Sun Tutorial, Lesson: Concurrency

And perhaps focus on this part: High Level Concurrency Objects
You could do it this way:

Write a class that implements Runnable interface and put the thread code in the run() method.
```
public class MyThreadedClass implements Runnable {
   public void run()
   {
      // put your thread code here
   }
}
```
And then, create the thread anywhere you want like this.
```
(new Thread(new MyThreadedClass())).start();
```
That's a very simple cookbook.

Don't forget to read about synchronization and concurrency as other post is suggesting. It's very important when dealing with threads.

Steve Kuo : You don't need parentheses around new Thread(...)
I would recommend reading Concurrent Programming in Java by Doug Lea.

Adam Jaskiewicz : Java Concurrency in Practice is also good.
This book might be useful to you.
