How to get to FutureTask execution state?

Question

I have a singleThreadExecutor in order to execute the tasks I submit to it in serial order i.e. one task after another, no parallel execution.

I have runnable which

Answer 1

Since FutureTask requires a callable object, we will create a simple Callable implementation.

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;

    public class MyCallable implements Callable {

        private long waitTime;

        public MyCallable(int timeInMillis){
            this.waitTime=timeInMillis;
        }
        @Override
        public String call() throws Exception {
            Thread.sleep(waitTime);
            //return the thread name executing this callable task
            return Thread.currentThread().getName();
        }

    }

Here is an example of FutureTask method and it’s showing commonly used methods of FutureTask.

import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.FutureTask;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException;

public class FutureTaskExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MyCallable callable1 = new MyCallable(1000);
        MyCallable callable2 = new MyCallable(2000);

        FutureTask futureTask1 = new FutureTask(callable1);
        FutureTask futureTask2 = new FutureTask(callable2);

        ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2);
        executor.execute(futureTask1);
        executor.execute(futureTask2);

        while (true) {
            try {
                if(futureTask1.isDone() && futureTask2.isDone()){
                    System.out.println("Done");
                    //shut down executor service
                    executor.shutdown();
                    return;
                }

                if(!futureTask1.isDone()){
                //wait indefinitely for future task to complete
                System.out.println("FutureTask1 output="+futureTask1.get());
                }

                System.out.println("Waiting for FutureTask2 to complete");
                String s = futureTask2.get(200L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
                if(s !=null){
                    System.out.println("FutureTask2 output="+s);
                }
            } catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }catch(TimeoutException e){
                //do nothing
            }
        }

    }
}
