InterruptedException

  • InterruptedException is thrown when a thread's operation is interrupted while it's waiting, sleeping, or otherwise engaged.

  • This exception can be explicitly thrown using Thread.interrupted() to check and react to interruption status.

  • It provides constructors to create instances with or without a detailed message explaining the interruption.

  • InterruptedException inherits methods from Throwable for handling and examining exceptions, such as getting stack traces and messages.

  • Additional methods are inherited from Object for basic object operations.

public class InterruptedException extends Exception

Thrown when a thread is waiting, sleeping, or otherwise occupied, and the thread is interrupted, either before or during the activity. Occasionally a method may wish to test whether the current thread has been interrupted, and if so, to immediately throw this exception. The following code can be used to achieve this effect:

  if (Thread.interrupted())  // Clears interrupted status!
      throw new InterruptedException();
