Definition

[Android.Runtime.Register("start", "()V", "GetStartHandler")]
public virtual void Start ();
[<Android.Runtime.Register("start", "()V", "GetStartHandler")>]
abstract member Start : unit -> unit
override this.Start : unit -> unit

Exceptions

  • if this thread has already started.

Remarks

Causes this thread to begin execution; the Java Virtual Machine calls the run method of this thread.

The result is that two threads are running concurrently: the current thread (which returns from the call to the start method) and the other thread (which executes its run method).

It is never legal to start a thread more than once. In particular, a thread may not be restarted once it has completed execution.
