You can Do it like this:

// the Thread class 
class ThreadDemo extends Thread 
{ 
    public void run() 
    { 
        try
        { 
            //Loop code
            for(int counter = 0; counter < x ;counter++){

             } 

        } 
        catch (Exception e) 
        { 
            // Throwing an exception 
            System.out.println ("Exception is caught"); 
        } 
    } 
} 

// Main Class 
public class Multithread 
{ 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 

            ThreadDemo object = new ThreadDemo(); 
            object.start(); 

    } 
}

You can do that using threads in java. Java don't support callbacks but with threads you can run multiple process at the same time. You can read more about threads in the java doc.or any java tutorial. The while loop should run on a separate thread while other things you want to do should run on another thread.

You can create a new Thread for the task you want to do separately while the loop is running.

Thread t = new Thread(() -> {
    //your code here
});
t.start();
