How to wait for all threads to finish, using ExecutorService?

Question

I need to execute some amount of tasks 4 at a time, something like this:

ExecutorService taskExecutor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(4);
while(...) {
    tas         


        

Answer 1

if you use more thread ExecutionServices SEQUENTIALLY and want to wait EACH EXECUTIONSERVICE to be finished. The best way is like below;

ExecutorService executer1 = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(THREAD_SIZE1);
for () {
   executer1.execute(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                ...
            }
        });
} 
executer1.shutdown();

try{
   executer1.awaitTermination(Long.MAX_VALUE, TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS);

   ExecutorService executer2 = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(THREAD_SIZE2);
   for (true) {
      executer2.execute(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                 ...
            }
        });
   } 
   executer2.shutdown();
} catch (Exception e){
 ...
}
