Multithreaded Programming 1 PDF

The document describes three variations of multithreaded coin flipping programs in Java. The first variation creates a separate Flipper class that implements Runnable, with five instances started concurrently. The second variation has the Activity class itself implement Runnable. The third variation uses an inner Flipper class within the Activity. Each variation involves looping to flip coins and printing results of streaks of three or more consecutive heads.

Multithreaded Programming:

Basics
1.

Make a coin-flipping class that implements Runnable. The run method should flip 1000
coins and print out whenever they get 3 or more consecutive heads. Start 5 instances of the
coin-flipping task. In the printouts, you can use the Thread.currentThread().getName() to identify the thread. Remember to look in the DDMS window to see the print
results.
You are following variation 1 of the basic threading approach, so your code will look
something like this:
public class Flipper implements Runnable {
public void run() { loop and do coin flipping }
}
----------------------------------------------------public class MainClass extends Activity {
public void buttonHandler(View clickedButton) {
ExecutorService taskList = ...;
for(int i=0; i<5; i++) {
taskList.execute(new Flipper());
}
}
}

2.

Do a similar task, but this time have your Activity implement Runnable. Now your code
will look roughly like this:
public class MainClass extends Activity implements Runnable {
public void buttonHandler(View clickedButton) {
ExecutorService taskList = ...;
for(int i=0; i<5; i++) {
taskList.execute(this);
}
}
public void run() { loop and do coin flipping }
}

3.

Do a similar task again, but this time use an inner class for the Flipper (the class that
implements Runnable).
