Setting Priority Of A Thread With An Internal Runnable

Question

Im creating a few thread using the technique of embedding the actual runnable within the Threads constructor like below:
new Thread(new Runnable()
     public void run()
          long start_t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
          bruteforce();
          long finished_t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
          timetaken_t1 = (finished_t1 - start_t1);
             t1_finished = true;
          if(finished())scoreBoard();
).start();the problem im having is that I want to assign priorities to these threads. The two usual techniques:
Threadname.MIN_PRIORITY
or
Threadname.setPriority(5);
Won't work because in this technique you cannot assign the thread a name like
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() ....Should I not be able to use this.setPriority(5) or this.MIN_PRIORITY? They don't seem to be working for me, however maybe im placing them in the wrong place.
Any help would be great, Im really stuck for time on this one!

Answer 1

Above should work, or if you want you could just assign a variable to the thread.
final Thread t = {...}And use t call the thread methods.
