public class InterruptedException extends Exception
Thrown when a thread is waiting, sleeping, or otherwise occupied, and the thread is interrupted, either before or during the activity. Occasionally a method may wish to test whether the current thread has been interrupted, and if so, to immediately throw this exception. The following code can be used to achieve this effect:
if (Thread.interrupted())  // Clears interrupted status!
    throw new InterruptedException();
