I need to kill a thread that is not created in my code. In other words, the thread object is created by api (Eclipse JFace). Here is my code
ProgressMonitorDialog dialog = new ProgressMonitorDialog(null);
try {
IRunnableWithProgress rp = new IRunnableWithProgress(){
@Override
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor)
throws InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException {
Thread.sleep(3000);
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
t.getThreadGroup().list();
t.interrupt();
}
};
dialog.run(true, true, rp);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Thread.currentThread() returns a thread with the name "ModalContext". Line t.getThreadGroup().list() returns the following data:
...
Thread[qtp1821431-38,5,main]
Thread[qtp1821431-39,5,main]
Thread[qtp1821431-40,5,main]
Thread[qtp1821431-42 Acceptor0 SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:18080,5,main]
Thread[DestroyJavaVM,5,main]
Thread[ModalContext,5,main]
Variables "dialog" and "rp" do not have reference to their runnable object. And they don't have any method to close or cancel. So I want to kill that thread "ModalContext" directly. Calling t.interrupt() does not work. Thread MoadlContext continues to run. How can I kill the thread? Thanks

t.interrupt() does not actually interrupt the thread immediately it only update interrupt status of thread. If your thread contains method which poll the interrupt status (i.e. sleep )only then the thread will be interrupted otherwise the thread simply complete the execution and interrupt status will be ignored.
Consider following example,
class RunMe implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Executing :"+Thread.currentThread().getName());
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
System.out.println("Inside loop for i = " +i);
}
System.out.println("Execution completed");
}
}
public class Interrupted {
public static void main(String[] args) {
RunMe runMe = new RunMe();
Thread t1 = new Thread(runMe);
t1.start();
t1.interrupt();//interrupt ignored
System.out.println("Interrupt method called to interrupt t1");
}
}
OUTPUT
Interrupt method called to interrupt t1
Executing :Thread-0
Inside loop for i = 1
Inside loop for i = 2
Inside loop for i = 3
Inside loop for i = 4
Inside loop for i = 5
Execution completed
Now just add Thread.sleep(200); in run and you will see the InterruptedException.
