## Class InterruptedException

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Throwable
  - - java.lang.Exception
    - - java.lang.InterruptedException

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public class InterruptedException
      extends Exception

  Thrown when a thread is waiting, sleeping, or otherwise occupied, and the thread is interrupted, either before or during the activity. Occasionally a method may wish to test whether the current thread has been interrupted, and if so, to immediately throw this exception. The following code can be used to achieve this effect:

        if (Thread.interrupted())  // Clears interrupted status!
            throw new InterruptedException();

  Since:
    JDK1.0
