I don't seem to able to get a Thread to be garbage collected. Below is
the source code (modified from HelloAndroid). I put a break point in
the finalize function and it never seems to get called. If I remove
"extends Thread" from the TestThread definition then the finalize
function gets called as expected. What's going on?
package com.example.helloandroid;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Hello, Android");
setContentView(tv);
TestThread t = new TestThread();
t = null;
System.gc();
}
class TestThread extends Thread {
protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
super.finalize();
}
}
}
