Open file using thread

[Mauro Trevigno]

Hi People, I cant open a file using thread.

Any comments would be appreciated.

public class RentMovie {
public static void main(String args []) 	{

Thread t1 = new Thread(new RentMovie("Movies.txt", cat));
t1.start();
try {
	t1.join();
}
		catch (InterruptedException ie)
		{
			ie.printStackTrace();
		}
}

import java.io.*;

public class ReadMovie implements Lector, Runnable {
private String file;
	private Catalogs catalogs;
	private static int id;
	
	public ReadMovie(String file, Catalogs catalogs){
	}
	
	public void run() {
//  I need to add  something here??? to open my file correctly??, im debugging and the thread never starts correctly.
	}                               

	
	public void addElement(String elem) {
	}
}

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Catalogs {
private ArrayList<Movie> movies = new ArrayList<>();
private static Catalogs theCatalogs = new Catalogs(); // Singleton

private Catalogs(){ } // Singleton

public void addMovie(Movie m){ }
public ArrayList getMovies() {
		return movies;
	}
private synchronized static void createCatalogs() {
        if (theCatalogs == null) { 
        	theCatalogs= new Catalogs();
        }
    }

	public static Catalogs getCatalogs(){
		createCatalogs();
		return losCatalogs;
	}
	
}

Thank You!

Regards,

You seem to make no effort to perform an I/O operation at all.

Besides, starting a thread and immediately joining it do not make much sense for me.

Maybe you should consult a java I/O tutorial.

I was having some problem to find where to add the I/O operation, but I resolved now. Thanks for the suggestion.
