Hi,
for my app I needed a small engine that constantly resort some data
as new one is available. I made everything in a thread and it's
really working great, but there's something that surprises me.
The thread is quite simple:
In the run a queue of data is processes. If the queue of data (an
array) is empty then the thread is suspended.
To add new data I implemented a add() method that prepares and
appends, when necessary, data to the queue. If the thread is
suspended it starts it again.
What surprises me is that if the thread is running (still processing
data) I can still call .add() without having to wait for the run() to
end. It is as if the add method would be threaded as well. (a thread
in a thread?).
This is suppose to be normal I guess. But are there limits? Are all
method *threaded*?
Thanks,
Tomas
