Interrupt Thread

[TyCox94]

I'm trying to setup a interruption, but it seems to be ignoring it. Take a look at my code

button code:

        Thread mainBot = new Thread();
        mainBot.interrupt();

thread run():

    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        Thread mainBot = new Thread();
        while (activeRun == 1) {
            if (mainBot.isInterrupted()) {
                activeRun = 0;
            } else {
                mainRun();
            }
        }
    }

What is the code you posted supposed to do when it is executed?
What does it do when it is executed?

Add some println statements to show where the execution goes.

Ok so I've been working on it. I now trying a different approach. How do i change a public variable in a thread that is already running? Take a look at the code...

My stop button

        mainBot dt1=new mainBot(1);
        dt1.allDone = 1;

I need it to change a public variable (allDone) in mainBot Thread to 1. This will notify my while loop code to stop and return;

        while (active == 1) {
            mainRun();
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(mainBot.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }
            System.out.println(allDone);
            if(allDone == 1) {
                System.out.println("yes");
                return;
            } else {
                    System.out.println(allDone);
            }
            
            System.out.println(allDone);
        }

Running Output: Works Fine

Run
0
0
0

After Stopped Output: Returns the same value.... not good

Run
0
0
0

I need it to output after stopped...

Run
1
yes

What do the printed numbers mean? You need to label your output so you know exactly which println printed it:
System.out.println("first aD=" + allDone);
...
System.out.println("last aD=" + allDone);
Where does it print "Run"?

How do i change a public variable in a thread that is already running?

What variable are you trying to change?

You need to post a complete program that executes and shows your problem. These short bits are pretty much useless.

xD ok sorry.

Here is my mainBot.java thread:

import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class mainBot extends Thread {
    public int allDone;
    public int active = 1;
    String msg;

    @Override
    public void run() {
        while (active == 1) {
            mainRun();
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(mainBot.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }
            System.out.println(allDone);
            if(allDone == 1) {
                System.out.println("yes");
                return;
            } else {
                    System.out.println(allDone);
            }
            
            
            System.out.println(allDone);
        }
    }

    public void mainRun() {
        System.out.println(msg);
    }
    
    mainBot(String mg)
    {
        msg=mg;
    }
    
    mainBot(int i)
    {
        allDone = i;
    }
}

Start Button:

        System.out.println(0);
        mainBot dt1=new mainBot("Run");
        System.out.println(3);    
        dt1.start();

My stop button is still the same code:

        mainBot dt1=new mainBot(1);
        dt1.allDone = 1;

The code you posted does not execute.

You need to add lots more printlns to see what the code is doing. In every method and every constructor.

Do public variables in a active thread become static once first loaded?

[Norm]

No variable changes to static.
