Is there is any mechanism in java through which we can communicate to the running thread and find from how much time it is running?

to calculate time of processing, you can do like below:

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
//your process
long finishTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long duration = finishTime - startTime;//unit is milisecond

  • I should run another function after the thread runnning for 3 seconds – user3509487 Apr 08 '14 at 10:11
  • So, you should to consider to use Timer to make sure the 3 seconds. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Timer.html – tana Apr 08 '14 at 10:19

Or, if you want to measure how much CPU time is used by an individual thread, see this answer:
