What are the differences between interrupted() and isInterrupted() method of the Thread class?
There are some subtle differences between the Thread (Thread API Document) methods interrupted() and isInterrupted():
- The interrupted() is a static method in Thread class that determines if the current thread has been interrupted. "The interrupted status of the thread is cleared by this method". Therefore, if a thread was interrupted, calling interrupted() once would return true, while a second call to it would return false until the current thread is interrupted again.
- The isInterrupted() is an instance method that tests if this thread instance has been interrupted. "The interrupted status of the thread is unaffected by this method".
