ReentrantLock.Owner Property

protected virtual Java.Lang.Thread? Owner { [Android.Runtime.Register("getOwner", "()Ljava/lang/Thread;", "GetGetOwnerHandler")] get; }

Property Value

the owner, or null if not owned

Attributes

Remarks

Returns the thread that currently owns this lock, or null if not owned. When this method is called by a thread that is not the owner, the return value reflects a best-effort approximation of current lock status. For example, the owner may be momentarily null even if there are threads trying to acquire the lock but have not yet done so. This method is designed to facilitate construction of subclasses that provide more extensive lock monitoring facilities.
