How can I print all thread states?

[Dillinger4]

The following code works fine but i am having trouble working with the Enum that is returned from getState(). In the following i guess the Enum returned will always contain just one element since a thread can only be in one state at a time.

public static void ThreadState(Thread t){
 Enum e = t.getState();
 System.out.println(t.getName() + " is " + e.name()); 
}

but how can i print out all the states? Enum defines

static Thread.State[] values()

I have the following......

Enum e = t.getState(); 
Thread.State[] ts = e.values();

t is simply a Thread instance but the compiler says that e has no values() method.

Got it but a bit confused. If getState() is supposed to return an Enum of thread states then how is it possible to assign the Enum to a single Thread.State? Is it because a thread can only be in a single state at a time?

Thread t = new Thread();
Thread.State e = t.getState(); 
Thread.State[] ts = e.values(); 
for(int i = 0; i < ts.length; i++){
 System.out.println(ts[i]); 
}
