# Interface java.lang.Runnable

public interface Runnable
extends Object

This interface is designed to provide a common protocol for Objects that want to execute code while they are active. For example, Runnable is implemented by class Thread.

In addition, Runnable provides the means for a class to be active while not subclassing Thread. A class that implements Runnable can run without subclassing Thread by instantiating a Thread instance and passing itself in as the target.
