Java Thread : How to run a method using Thread

Question

hi,
I have a method which i need to run with thread. Is there any way to do that. I have a code like below
public class parentClass extends Thread{
public static void main(String[] args){
ThreadClass threadClass = new ThreadClass()
Thread th = new Thread(threadClass.threadMethod("sample message"));
th.start();
System.out.println("Finished Threading");
public class ThreadClass(){
public threadMethod(String arg){
System.out.pritnln("Message received "+arg);
}thankQ

You really seem very confused about alot of things.
If the code in your first posted code block compiled then it would have two threads. Not the one you said. But neither that example nor your follow up
are really making any sense. Statements like
//The main idea is it(childMethod()) will take lot of time for some arguments less time for some arguments.
//     So that it will clear and can be available for other thread.indicate to me that you don't understand how threading works or what it is for.
Please start by reviewing the [_Concurrency tutorial_|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html]
Perhaps on completing that tutorial you may be able to formulate a question which can actually be answered.
