Question

Is there a way to set a friendly name to a thread in code?

For example, I want the thread with name Thread-11 on the image was named something like 'MyImportThread'.

Answer 1

You can easily pass a thread name in Its Constructor, like:

Thread foo = new Thread("Foo");

... or by calling Thread#setName:

public final void setName (String threadName)

Sets the name of the Thread.

as thread.setName("Thread-11"); or like Thread.currentThread().setName("Thread-11");
