Thread sends notify() before waiting thread says wait()
In the code below the ref book I'm using "Sun certified Programmer for Java 2" had the calculator thread starting before the Reader thread was even created and hence the calculator thread was finished it's task and sending a notify() before the Reader even had it's socks on and saying wait()
( And this cost me a lot of time tryin to figure this problem out as the code must have being written for a Z80 processor and not a 2.4GHz P4)
To fix this I put the calculator starting after the reader thread, but .......
I would have thought that java would have some protection against this happening, ie, like a notify flag which a thread can set if it has done it's job BEFORE the waiting thread even starts waiting, ie a preemptive mechanism to help speed things up ?
package MyPackage;
public class Reader extends Thread {
Calculator MyCalculator;
public Reader(Calculator calc){
MyCalculator = calc;
public void run(){
synchronized(MyCalculator){
try{
System.out.println("Waiting for calculation ... ");
MyCalculator.wait();
}catch (InterruptedException e){}
System.out.println("Total is: " + MyCalculator.total);
public static void main(String args []){
Calculator calculator = new Calculator();
//calculator.start();
new Reader( calculator ).start();
calculator.start();
package MyPackage;
public class Calculator extends Thread{
int total;
public void run(){
synchronized(this) {
for(int i=0; i<100; i++){
total += i;
System.out.println("Calculation complete, notifying waiting thread..");
notify();
It's up to the 'umble programmer to code it right. The code you quoted was crap.
The most common way to wait is on a condition:
while (hotAndBotherd())
obj.wait();And then the notifying thread will take steps to change that:
//code that cools off the hot and bothered
obj.notify[all]();If the initial state of things is hot and bothered then there is no race condition: the first thread will wait.

I have received some texts from family who are on the same account and also from spammers but cannot receive from others and cannot send.
If you bought it yesterday your service provider (orange, voadfone etc) can take up to a week I believe, depending on who you bought it from, to fully activate your phones features. However being able to receive some texts is odd as this would suggest it has been activated. If you're near the store you bought it from I would suggest going in and just asking about it, or phoning them up if you want, but otherwise you could wait a few days and see if it sorts itself out.

I am currently working on a socket based IM server, I get messages from multiple clients simultaneously and put them into queues, for each queue in my server I have a separate listener running in a thread, as soon as a packet comes in the queue (from any client) it��s related thread is notified to get that packet from thread and process it.
Here I am using wait/notify blocking mechanism to control loop in my listener thread. My logic works like this
1) When Listener thread starts it calls the synchronized getNextPacket method on that queue if the queue has any packet (i.e. it��s length is greater then zero) then it will remove that packet from the underlying vector (NOTE: I am using Vector to contain packets) and return that packet to listener thread, else if queue doesn��t have any packet (i.e. its size is zero) then I will call wait() method which causes the listener thread to wait.
2) Now when any client adds some packet in that queue using synchronized addPacket( ) method I first add that packet in the underlying vector and then call notify()/notifyAll() to awake that listener thread, which again calls the getNextPacket() method and this cycle continuous like this.
So multiple threads (clients) are adding data in the queue using synchronized method, only one listener thread is getting data from that queue using a synchronized method again �� .
This approach works fine but sometimes I have noticed that the listener thread doesn��t resume just after notiy() / notifyAll() has been called , sometimes it resumes after a long time sometimes it even don��t resume (after waiting a long time I assumed this).
Solutions I tried
1) I did set the listener Thread��s priority to Maximum but facing same problem again.
For better understanding I am also sending you the code for my queue class and it��s listener thread.

My wait() thread never wakes up with notify()
In the code below, I'm trying to wake up the DispatchThread whenever the add method is called in the PriorityQueue. For some reason the notify() method is not unblocking the thread. All I can figure is that the reference to the thread in notify() is incorrect. Can anyone find the problem with the code?
import java.util.TreeSet;
public class PriorityQueue{
private TreeSet queue;
private DispatchThread d_Thread;
private Thread d_thread;
//default constructor
PriorityQueue()
queue = new TreeSet();
d_Thread = new DispatchThread(this);
public void add(Object anobject)
synchronized (this.d_Thread)
queue.add(anobject);
this.d_Thread.notify();
System.out.println(anobject+" added to queue now");
try
Thread.sleep(500);
catch (InterruptedException e){}
static void main(String args[])
PriorityQueue intTest = new PriorityQueue();
intTest.add(new Integer(25));
intTest.add(new Integer(35));
intTest.add(new Integer(6));
class DispatchThread implements Runnable{
private PriorityQueue queue;
private Thread d_Thread;
public DispatchThread(PriorityQueue queue)
this.queue = queue;
d_Thread = new Thread(this);
d_Thread.start();
public void run()
while(true)
synchronized (this.d_Thread)
try
System.out.println("about to wait - dispatch thread");
this.d_Thread.wait();
System.out.println("just woke up dispatch thread"); //never makes it this far
//do some dispatching operations here
catch(InterruptedException ie){}
}When you call the wait method, you use the thread you create in the constructor of DispatchThread.
When you call the notify method, you use another lock, the Dispatch object itself.
And notify and wait are methods defined in Object. It's rarely you would use a thread object as a lock.
You can make you code work if you do this in DispatchThread:
synchronized (this) {
try {
System.out.println("about to wait - dispatch thread");
wait();
}because now you use the same lock both places. -
Invoking "this.notify()" before thread exit?
a Runnable class that i am writing must account for 2 cases:
(1) the user wants to do other work while the Runnable does its business.
(2) the user wants to wait for the Runnable to exit before continuing on with other work.
this is my best solution:
MyRunnable mr = new MyRunnable();
new Thread(mr).start();
synchronized(mr) {
mr.wait();
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
synchronized(this) {
this.notifyAll(); // just before exit, i notify everyone that i am exiting. but if no one is waiting, what harm does this do?
} further, why not do this.notifyAll() for all Threads / Runnables just before they exit?
if no one is waiting, is there harm in invoking notifyAll() ? seems that this just adds a new feature to my class at no cost??
my understanding of OOP is that a class writer should not assume how a user will use his class, so this seems like a good option. yet, this does seem non-standard.
Edited by: kogose on Oct 19, 2008 11:53 AMBut why start a thread at all only to wait for it? In the case where the caller wants to wait, he should just call your run() method directly. No other code required. In the case where he wants to proceed independently, he can call new Thread(xxx).start().
-
Pretty sure that i am blowing past the notify() before the wait()
i am working on a project, and here is my basecase.
public class Worker extends Thread {
public boolean taskFinished = false;
private Object flag = new Object();
private FutureTask task;
public void run() {
while(true) {
synchronized(flag) {
flag.wait();
taskFinished = false;
task.run();
taskFinished = true;
public void execute(FutureTask task) {
synchronized(flag) {
this.task = task;
flag.notify();
}here is an example of how i'd use this class:
FutureTask ft = new FutureTask(task);
Worker worker = new Worker();
worker.start();
// Thread.sleep(10); <-- this "fixes" the problem (well, makes the problem much less probable)
worker.execute(ft);
......without the wait(10) , the program works about 80% of the time.
with the wait(10) , my testing has always completed successfully. but that does not really solve the problem.
i am almost certain that i am calling flag.notify() before the flag.wait() ..... i have no idea of what to do.
note: this is probably a "non-standard" way to use FutureTask , and its more appropriate to use an ExecutorService to take care of this
business, but my problem is larger than this base case. i want to use this general structure. otherwise, i need to re-design.When I visit at http://ezinearticles.com/?Acai-Berry---How-I-Lost-30-Pounds-in-Under-30-Days-Using-The-Acai-Berry&id=1998407 I found a product of acai berry to reduce weight.

Best way for a thread to wait without busy-waiting
Hi!
I have a thread that has nothing to do but to monitor the status of a variable
public static boolean askToClose. This variable is set by other
threads to indicate that this thread should stop now. But I don't want the thread
to busy-wait like in this piece of code :
public void run() {
while (!askToClose) {
Thread.sleep(1000);
cleanAndStop();
}I'm new to Thread programming in Java so I'm not sure what's the best way to wait
for an event without busy-waiting. I've tried using interruption instead of
monitoring for the boolean variable :
public void run() {
try {
synchronized (this) {
System.out.println("WAITING");
wait(0);
catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("INTERRUPTED !");
cleanAndStop();
}and the other threads would simply call myThread.interrupt() instead of setting
askToClose = true;And I've also used a LinkedBlockingQueue :
public static LinkedBlockingQueue q = new LinkedBlockingQueue();
public void run() {
try {
q.take();//Waiting
catch (InterruptedException e) {}
cleanAndStop();
}and on the other threads :
MyThread.q.add(new Object());Which one is the best solution ? Do I really avoid busy waiting with this code? Is
there a better way of doing this?
Thx for your help !Your wait() based solution is OK, except that the other thread should
use
synchronized()
notify();

When sending document to printer it now says waiting
when sending photos or document to my printer, i now get a message in my print center that says waiting. I have been able to print
What you see at the top of the iTunes window is usually the name of the folder where your "iTunes Library.itl" file resides (that is your main library file). By default that folder name is "iTunes" and that's why you'd see it displayed, not because that is the name of the program.
But now with "Library.xml" showing I wonder if you re-built your library by opening your .xml file? Just for kicks, you might hold the Shift key as you launch iTunes and select "Choose Library" at the prompt, then navigate to where your "iTunes Library.itl" file resides and see what comes up. -

Be sure to follow the special instructions.
You will also probably need to run the un-installer first to clean up the old files. -
Apps say "waiting" when i restored phone twice?! Help!?
Ya so i have restored my phone twice because the album art on some albums were wrong so i read that you could restore it so i restored it and none of my apps loaded back. So i restored it again thinking that i would work, but everysingle time the apps just say waiting. I can open my apps thru the app store but i can't open them from my home screens. I have tried apple support and everything, but nothing has helped. I was also going to restore it via itunes, but some of my songs would be permentley deleted. Help I have no idea what to do!!!

Bought an app (Photo Transfer) that continues to say waiting and not open
Bought a Photo Transfer app that continues to say waiting and will not open. What can I do?
Hello,
This usually happens if there is another download in progress, like another app is updating or downloading. If there are no other apps downloading or updating then you may want to restart your device to try to resume the download of the app that way. I've seen this happen before and the download started after the restart of the device.
If you have a problem with the app itself then don't hesitate to send an email to our support inbox: support [at] phototransfera [dot] com.
Cheers,
Enrique

I have been having problems downloading apps for a while now. I only just downloaded IOS 7 but I thought it would help me, it hasn't.
I go onto the app store to download and app, i enter the correct passwrd and the apps icon appears to be downloaded. The waiting sign appears on the icon and then the icon itself disappears, then on the app store it looks as though i have never tried to download it! PLEASE help! i didnt get Flappy Bird because of this issue! lolHi Nerdyninja12,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try this step first if an app download on your iPad is not completing:
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
If the download still does not complete, force close and re-open the App Store. Here's how to force close an iOS application:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close
