How To Stop The Thread In Android?

I have a thread in my callback function as follows: @Override public void onConnectError(final BluetoothDevice device, String message) { Log.d('TAG','Trying again in 3 sec.');

Solution 1:

Please do this like

privateHandler handler;
privateRunnable runnable;

@OverridepublicvoidonConnectError(final BluetoothDevice device, String message) {
Log.d("TAG","Trying again in 3 sec.");
runOnUiThread(newRunnable() {
    @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
        handler = newHandler();
runnable = newRunnable() {
        @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
//Do something
        }
    };
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 2000);
    }
});
}

and

@OverridepublicvoidonBackPressed() {
if (handler != null && runnable != null) {
        handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
    }
 }

and same in onDestroy();

Solution 2:

I'm mostly use thread in this way.See its independent in activity

publicclassTestActivityextendsActivity {

@OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.abc);

    holdConnectionHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);

}

Handler holdConnectionHandler = newHandler() {

publicvoidhandleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
// do some work 

    holdConnectionHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 10 * 1000);
}
};

@OverridepublicvoidonDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();

holdConnectionHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);
// or 
holdConnectionHandler.removeMessages(0);

}
}

Thanks hope this will help you
