# Uses of Interface
java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory

Packages that use ThreadFactory
Package | Description
--- | ---
java.lang.ref | Provides reference-object classes, which support a limited degree of interaction with the garbage collector.
java.nio.channels | Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.
java.nio.channels.spi | Service-provider classes for the `java.nio.channels` package.
java.util.concurrent | Utility classes commonly useful in concurrent programming.

  Methods in java.util.concurrent that return ThreadFactory
  Modifier and Type | Method | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `static ThreadFactory` | Executors.`defaultThreadFactory()` | Returns a default thread factory used to create new threads.
  `ThreadFactory` | ThreadPoolExecutor.`getThreadFactory()` | Returns the thread factory used to create new threads.

  Methods in java.util.concurrent with parameters of type ThreadFactory
  Modifier and Type | Method | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `static ExecutorService` | Executors.`newCachedThreadPool​(ThreadFactory threadFactory)` | Creates a thread pool that creates new threads as needed, but will reuse previously constructed threads when they are available, and uses the provided ThreadFactory to create new threads when needed.
  `static ExecutorService` | Executors.`newFixedThreadPool​(int nThreads, ThreadFactory threadFactory)` | Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed number of threads operating off a shared unbounded queue, using the provided ThreadFactory to create new threads when needed.
  `static ScheduledExecutorService` | Executors.`newScheduledThreadPool​(int corePoolSize, ThreadFactory threadFactory)` | Creates a thread pool that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.
  `static ExecutorService` | Executors.`newSingleThreadExecutor​(ThreadFactory threadFactory)` | Creates an Executor that uses a single worker thread operating off an unbounded queue, and uses the provided ThreadFactory to create a new thread when needed.
  `static ScheduledExecutorService` | Executors.`newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor​(ThreadFactory threadFactory)` | Creates a single-threaded executor that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.
  `void` | ThreadPoolExecutor.`setThreadFactory​(ThreadFactory threadFactory)` | Sets the thread factory used to create new threads.
