How can I kill a thread? without using stop();
please help me

[Heather]

When I want to kill a thread I create a method that when I call it, it prepares the thread to kill it
check this code, and if you have doubts, tell me

Code:

boolean finish = false;
void run(){
 while(!finish ){
     //process
 }
//clean resources
}
public void finish Thread(){
 this.finish = true;
}

bye

check if it is useful to you:

Code:

class Example implements Runnable {
    Thread t;
    Object runLock = new Object();
    volatile boolean shouldRun = false;

    public void start() {

if (t == null) {

shouldRun = true;

t = new Thread(this);
t.start();

}

else {

synchronized(runLock) {

shouldRun = true;
runLock.notify();

}

   }

      } // end start

      public void stop() {

shouldRun = false;

      } // end stop


public void run() {

for (;;) {


synchronized(runLock) {

while (shouldRun == false)

try {

runLock.wait();

} catch (InterruptedException ie) {



}                                                

}

}

} // end run
