What does the asterisk on Thread ID means?

Question

I am debugging an Android Project and notice that there are asterisks on some of the Thread ID. What is it for?

Answer 1

Daemon threads are shown with an asterisk (*). This will be one of the following:

• running - executing application code
• sleeping - called Thread.sleep()
• monitor - waiting to acquire a monitor lock

• wait - in Object.wait()

• native - executing native code

• vmwait - waiting on a VM resource

• zombie - thread is in the process of dying

• init - thread is initializing (you shouldn't see this)
