A bit more useful version

I have added a "tag" so that I can now where this method is called from.


public class Utils {
    public static long getThreadId()
    {
        Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
        return t.getId();
    }
    public static String getThreadSignature()
    {
        Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
        long l = t.getId();
        String name = t.getName();
        long p = t.getPriority();
        String gname = t.getThreadGroup().getName();
        return (name + ":(id)" + l + ":(priority)" + p
                + ":(group)" + gname);
    }
    public static void logThreadSignature(String tag)
    {
        Log.d(tag, getThreadSignature());
    }
    public static void sleepForInSecs(int secs)
    {
        try
        {
            Thread.sleep(secs * 1000);
        }
        catch(InterruptedException x)
        {
            throw new RuntimeException("interrupted",x);
        }
    }
}
