Java: How to stop thread?
java, multithreading
Solution
We don't stop or kill a thread rather we do `Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted().`
public class Task1 implements Runnable {
public void run() {
while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
................
................
................
................
}
}
}
in main we will do like this:
Thread t1 = new Thread(new Task1());
t1.start();
t1.interrupt();
Problem
Is there any way to stop another thread from OUTSIDE of the thread? Like, if I ran a thread to run that thread and caused that thread to stop? Would it stop the other thread? Is there a way to stop the thread from inside without a loop? For example, If you are downloading ideally you would want to use a loop, and if I use a loop I wont be able to pause it until it reaches the end of the loop.
