How can I pass a parameter to a Java Thread?

by

You need to pass the parameter in the constructor to the Runnable object:

public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {

   public MyRunnable(Object parameter) {
       // store parameter for later user
   }

   public void run() {
   }
}

and invoke it thus:

Runnable r = new MyRunnable(param_value);
new Thread(r).start();
