"implements Runnable" vs "extends Thread" in Java
From what time I've spent with threads in Java, I've found these two ways to write threads:
With implements Runnable:
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
//Code
}
}
//Started with a "new Thread(new MyRunnable()).start()" call
Or, with extends Thread:
public class MyThread extends Thread {
public MyThread() {
super("MyThread");
}
public void run() {
//Code
}
}
//Started with a "new MyThread().start()" call
Is there any significant difference in these two blocks of code?
