android中止线程,如何正确中断Android中的线程

In my application I have a button and when it gets clicked I start a new thread and change the text of button. If I press the button again it will start changing its text faster.

I would like to interrupt the thread when the button is pressed in the second time. What's the correct way to do it?

public class TestActivity extends Activity {

Button btn;

int i = 0;

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn);

btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

runThread();

}

});

}

private void runThread() {

new Thread() {

public void run() {

while (i++ < 1000) {

try {

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

@Override

public void run() {

btn.setText("#" + i);

}

});

Thread.sleep(300);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

}.start();

}

解决方案

In my opinion, the best way would be using a variable to control this.

Something like:

while(i++ < 1000 && keepRunning)

I see that as a good solution because it cant cause unexpected behavior, as you are sure the exactly moment your thread would exit.

As a suggestion, I also would recommend you to set your thread non-Damon (setDaemon(false)) because it makes layout changes

Also it is a good practice to give thread a name (setName()) to make it easy on debugging.
