How to get value from Thread Run Method

Question

I want to access a variable from the run method of a Thread externally in a class or in a method. Even though I make the variable as public /public static, I could get the value till the end of the run method only. After that it seems that scope of the variable gets lost resulting to null value in the called method/class..
How can I get the variable with the value?
This is sample code:
public class SampleSynchronisation
public static void main(String df[])
sampleThread sathr= new sampleThread();
sathr.start();
System.out.println("This is the value from the run method "+sathr.x);
/* I should get Inside the run method::: But I get only Inside */
class sampleThread extends Thread
     public String x="Inside";
     public void run()
          x+="the run method";

I think this is what you're looking for. I hold up main(), waiting for the results to be concatenated to the String.
public class sampsynch
    class SampleThread extends Thread
     String x = "Inside";
     public void run() {
         x+="the run method";
         synchronized(this) {
          notify();
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
     SampleThread t = new sampsynch().new SampleThread();
     t.start();
     synchronized(t) {
         t.wait();
     System.out.println(t.x);
}
