If you are referring to infinite loop then want to pause the running
thread on it.
you may refer to this SO url.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7226532/android-is-performance-wise-to-implement-a-continuing-loop-with-pauseresume-fun
here's the idea:
/**
* Call this on pause.
*/
public void pause() {
Log.i(LOG_LOGCAT_TAG, "pause() called");
synchronized (_mPauseLock) {
_mPaused = true;
}
}
/**
* Call this on resume.
*/
public void resume() {
Log.i(LOG_LOGCAT_TAG, "resume() called");
synchronized (_mPauseLock) {
_mPaused = false;
_mPauseLock.notifyAll();
}
}
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent arg0) {
Log.i(LOG_LOGCAT_TAG, "loop started");
while (!_mFinished) {
// do stuff here
synchronized (_mPauseLock) {
while (_mPaused) {
try {
Log.i(LOG_LOGCAT_TAG, "loop paused");
_mPauseLock.wait();
Log.i(LOG_LOGCAT_TAG, "loop resumed");
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.e(LOG_LOGCAT_TAG, "error occured on pause", e);
}
}
}
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.e(LOG_LOGCAT_TAG, "error occured on sleep", e);
}
}
Log.i(LOG_LOGCAT_TAG, "loop ended");
}

But why would you want to suspend the thread? There is a good reason
for the deprecation of the Thread.suspend() API: you make it too hard
to avoid deadlock if you use it. Just let the scheduler do its job.

How do you suspend a Thread on Android? I have a background thread,
and I need to write the onPause method.
