什么情况下可能导致独立线程中的InterruptedException？

Question

In my app I have this simple piece of clock code:

while(!clockRunning){
    time++;
    repaint();
    Thread.sleep(1000);
}
}catch (InterruptedException e){}

and I began curious what situation may cause exception above.

Answer 1

from the Thread Javadoc :

if any thread has interrupted the current thread. The interrupted status of the current thread is cleared when this exception is thrown.

basicly when another thread calls this threads interrupt method
