Class Overview | Class Members | This Package | All Packages
Syntax
public final native void notify()
Description
Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. A thread waits on an object's monitor by calling one of the wait methods.
This method should only be called by a thread that is the owner of this object's monitor. A thread becomes the owner of the object's monitor in one of three ways:
- By executing a synchronized instance method of that object.
- By executing the body of a synchronized statement that synchronizes on the object.
- For objects of type Class, by executing a synchronized static method of that class.
Only one thread at a time can own an object's monitor.
Exceptions
IllegalMonitorStateException if the current thread is not the owner of this object's monitor.
