前言

很多文章说Java线程有五种状态：NEW（新建）、RUNNABLE（就绪）、RUNNING（运行）、BLOCKED（阻塞）、DEAD(死亡)，而阻塞又分为等待阻塞、同步阻塞、其它阻塞。
很遗憾这种说法是错误的，这五种状态确实早期的进程状态，也就是单线程进程的状态。

线程状态

Java线程到底有几种状态，其实只要打开一下JDK源码，看一下java.lang.Thread类就知道了，java.lang.Thread定义了一个内部枚举java.lang.Thread.State，部分源码如下：

/**
 * A thread can be in only one state at a given point in time.
 * These states are virtual machine states which do not reflect
 * any operating system thread states.
 * 一个线程在特定的时刻，只能有一个状态。
 * 这些状态是虚拟机的状态，不能反映任何操作系统的线程状态
 * @since   1.5
 */
public enum State {
    /**
     * Thread state for a thread which has not yet started.
     * 线程未开始的状态
     */
    NEW,

    /**
     * Thread state for a runnable thread.  A thread in the runnable
     * state is executing in the Java virtual machine but it may
     * be waiting for other resources from the operating system
     * such as processor.
     * 可运行的线程状态，此状态的线程正在JVM中运行，
     * 但也有可能在等待操作系统的其他资源，例如处理器
     */
    RUNNABLE,

    /**
     * Thread state for a thread blocked waiting for a monitor lock.
     * A thread in the blocked state is waiting for a monitor lock
     * to enter a synchronized block/method or
     * reenter a synchronized block/method after calling
     * 阻塞状态的线程在等待一个监视器锁去进入同步代码块/方法，
     * 或者调用后重新进入同步代码块/方法
     */
    BLOCKED,

    /**
     * Thread state for a waiting thread.
     * A thread is in the waiting state due to calling one of the following methods:
     * Object.wait()
     * Thread.join()
     * LockSupport.park()
     * A thread in the waiting state is waiting for another thread to
     * perform a particular action.
     * 由于调用了Object.wait()、Thread.join()、LockSupport.park()其中一个方法，线程进入等待状态
     * 处于等待状态的线程，正在在等待另一个线程执行特定的操作
     */
    WAITING,

    /**
     * Thread state for a waiting thread with a specified waiting time.
     * A thread is in the timed waiting state due to calling one of
     * the following methods with a specified positive waiting time:
     * Thread.sleep()
     * Object.wait()
     * LockSupport.parkNanos()
     * LockSupport.parkUntil()
     * 有指定等待时间的线程等待状态
     * 由于调用了Thread.sleep(long)、Object.wait(long)、Thread.join(long)、
     * LockSupport.parkNanos(long)、LockSupport.parkUntil(long)其中一个方法并传入了正（数）时间参数，
     * 线程处于有时间限制的等待状态
     */
    TIMED_WAITING,

    /**
     * Thread state for a terminated thread.
     * The thread has completed execution.
     * 线程已经执行完成，处于终止状态
     */
    TERMINATED;
}

根据上述代码，可以知道Java线程有六个状态：NEW（新建）、RUNNABLE（可运行）、BLOCKED（阻塞）、WAITING（等待）、TIMED_WAITING（指定时间的等待）、TERMINATED（终止），线程之间的转换关系如下：

Java线程的几种状态 java线程的五种状态_Java线程的几种状态


值得注意的是，Java线程是不区分Ready（就绪）和Running（运行）的，它们都是Runnable状态，我把他们画出来，是为了强调，也便于理解。

实例

  • 线程状态：NEW -> RUNNABLE -> TERMINATED
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            System.out.println("执行run()，线程状态：" + Thread.currentThread().getState().toString());
        }
    });
    System.out.println("未调用start()，线程状态：" + thread.getState().toString());
    thread.start();
    // 睡眠1秒，让thread执行完成
    Thread.sleep(1000);
    System.out.println("线程执行完成，线程状态：" + thread.getState().toString());
}
  • 执行结果
未调用start()，线程状态：NEW
执行run()，线程状态：RUNNABLE
线程执行完成，线程状态：TERMINATED
  • 线程状态：NEW -> RUNNABLE -> TIMED_WAITING -> RUNNABLE -> TERMINATED
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            System.out.println("执行run()，thread线程状态：" + Thread.currentThread().getState().toString());
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            System.out.println("sleep结束，thread线程状态：" + Thread.currentThread().getState().toString());
        }
    });
    System.out.println("未调用start()，thread线程状态：" + thread.getState().toString());
    thread.start();
    // 睡眠200毫秒，让thread被调度起来，进入sleep
    Thread.sleep(200);
    System.out.println("线程sleep，thread线程状态：" + thread.getState().toString());
    // 睡眠2秒，让thread执行完成
    Thread.sleep(2000);
    System.out.println("线程执行完成，thread线程状态：" + thread.getState().toString());
}
  • 执行结果
未调用start()，thread线程状态：NEW
执行run()，thread线程状态：RUNNABLE
线程sleep，thread线程状态：TIMED_WAITING
sleep结束，thread线程状态：RUNNABLE
线程执行完成，thread线程状态：TERMINATED
  • 线程状态：NEW -> RUNNABLE -> BLOCKED -> RUNNABLE -> TERMINATED
private static Object lock = new Object();
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

   Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
       @Override
       public void run() {
           System.out.println("执行run()，thread线程状态：" + Thread.currentThread().getState().toString());
           synchronized(lock) {
           }
           System.out.println("synchronized结束，thread线程状态：" + Thread.currentThread().getState().toString());
       }
   });
   System.out.println("未调用start()，thread线程状态：" + thread.getState().toString());
   synchronized(lock) {
       thread.start();
       Thread.sleep(200);
       System.out.println("线程synchronized，thread线程状态：" + thread.getState().toString());
   }
   // 睡眠2秒，让thread执行完成
   Thread.sleep(2000);
   System.out.println("线程执行完成，thread线程状态：" + thread.getState().toString());
}
  • 执行结果
未调用start()，thread线程状态：NEW
执行run()，thread线程状态：RUNNABLE
线程synchronized，thread线程状态：BLOCKED
synchronized结束，thread线程状态：RUNNABLE
线程执行完成，thread线程状态：TERMINATED

总结

以上便是Java线程的六种状态，及其切换。
