Implementing Runnable and using Thread's methods within your own class

They say that implementing Runnable is more preferrable than extending Thread. I agree that this is more Java-like.

Ok. I would like to do something like this:

public class HotThread implements Runnable {
...
    private void execute() {
        if (this.isInterrupted()) {
        ....
        }    
    }
}

So, now I get an error as there is no method isInterrupted. Could you help me understand this moment: how to use methods of the class Thread within your own class in this case.

isInterrupted is defined for the Thread but for the current thread you could use the shorthand form

if (Thread.interrupted()) {

Read: Interrupts

It is defined in Thread class - java.lang.Thread.isInterrupted()

To use this

HotThread  ht = new HotThread();
Thread t = new Thread(ht);

use t.isInterrupted()
