Does a thread can be declare once?

Question

for example:
Thread thread = new Thread();
thread.start();
somewhere in my list code:
thread.stop_run();
thread.Interrupt();
i want to start thread again without:
Thread thread = new Thread();
thread.start();
just thread.start() and it will begin from the begining of a thread.
Is it can or not ???
thx....

You can not do that.
Once a thread is stopped, where yourThread.getState()==State.TERMINATED that thread can never be started again.
You can either just create a new instance of the thread like yourThread=new Thread(some class);
or you can avoid killing your thread in the first place. Once you're finished doing what you needed with that thread, put it to sleep for a long time like Long.MAX_VALUE. That thread will sleep until you interrupt it again.
To make sure the thread will execute from the beginning put the thread code in a infinite loop and use the continue command statement to reset the execution when you need to restart the thread.
In your code then every time you press a button or whatever starts the thread, first check the state of the thread if it's WAITING then just interrupt it, if it's NEW then just do what you regularly do.
It's probably easier to just create a new instance, but if you want to avoid that then try the above technique.
