Java thread run method

Question

In my pregame I have a thread and it's run method must have Queue as input:

@Override
public void run(Queue q) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    A = q.pop();
    System.out.println(A * A + "Pop1");

}

And in this case the run method is not an implemented method of my runnable class, so how can I handle this problem?

Answer 1

Set the queue as an argument in your constructor. Or add it in a setter. Remove the argument from the run method, but keep it in the method body.

Answer 2

You write a second run method with the right signature for Runnable . This one can then get the queue somehow and call the other run method.

Answer 3

from the original run() method of the thread , call run(Queue q) method

@Override
public void run() {

 //call the run(Queue q) method from here
}

public void run(Queue q) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
A = q.pop();
System.out.println(A * A + "Pop1");

}
