AtomicBoolean

public class AtomicBoolean
extends Object implements Serializable

java.lang.Object
↳	java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean

A boolean value that may be updated atomically. See the VarHandle specification for descriptions of the properties of atomic accesses. An AtomicBoolean is used in applications such as atomically updated flags, and cannot be used as a replacement for a Boolean.

Summary

Public constructors
`AtomicBoolean(boolean initialValue)` Creates a new `AtomicBoolean` with the given initial value.
`AtomicBoolean()` Creates a new `AtomicBoolean` with initial value `false`.

Public methods
`final boolean`	`compareAndExchange(boolean expectedValue, boolean newValue)` Atomically sets the value to `newValue` if the current value, referred to as the witness value, `== expectedValue`, with memory effects as specified by `VarHandle#compareAndExchange`.
`final boolean`	`compareAndExchangeAcquire(boolean expectedValue, boolean newValue)` Atomically sets the value to `newValue` if the current value, referred to as the witness value, `== expectedValue`, with memory effects as specified by `VarHandle#compareAndExchangeAcquire`.
`final boolean`	`compareAndExchangeRelease(boolean expectedValue, boolean newValue)` Atomically sets the value to `newValue` if the current value, referred to as the witness value, `== expectedValue`, with memory effects as specified by `VarHandle#compareAndExchangeRelease`.
`final boolean`	`compareAndSet(boolean expectedValue, boolean newValue)` Atomically sets the value to `newValue` if the current value `== expectedValue`, with memory effects as specified by `VarHandle#compareAndSet`.
`final boolean`	`get()` Returns the current value, with memory effects as specified by `VarHandle#getVolatile`.
`final boolean`	`getAcquire()` Returns the current value, with memory effects as specified by `VarHandle#getAcquire`.
`final boolean`	`getAndSet(boolean newValue)` Atomically sets the value to `newValue` and returns the old value, with memory effects as specified by `VarHandle#getAndSet`.
`final boolean`	`getOpaque()` Returns the current value, with memory effects as specified by `VarHandle#getOpaque`.
`final boolean`	`getPlain()` Returns the current value, with memory semantics of reading as if the variable was declared non-`volatile`.

`String`	`toString()` Returns the String representation of the current value.
`boolean`	`weakCompareAndSet(boolean expectedValue, boolean newValue)` This method was deprecated in API level 33.
