How can I measure thread waiting time?

Question

I couldn't find out how to measure the time that a Thread is waiting locked. I have to determine if a Thread is waiting locked more than 1 second and if so to run another Thread instead. Thanks!

Try this:

long startTime = System.nanoTime();
methodToTime();
long endTime = System.nanoTime();

long duration = endTime - startTime;
