We can use interrupt() method of java.lang.Thread class to interrupt

a thread that is in sleep state. It will get InterruptedException to

wake up from the sleep.

Sample code is as follows:

public class ThreadInterrupt implements Runnable {

public void run() {

try {

Thread.sleep(Long.MAX_VALUE);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

SOP(“Interrupted by exception!");

}

}

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException

{

Thread myThread = new Thread(new ThreadInterrupt(),

“myThread");

myThread.start();

SOP(“Sleeping in main thread for 10 seconds”);

Thread.sleep(10000);

SOP(“Interrupting myThread");

myThread.interrupt();

}

}
