Hi Brad, > Can anyone tell me how to safely stop a thread? >
You can't stop a thread but you can let it die. Just return from the Thread#run method. Most of the time you will have something like: public volatile boolean shutdownRequested = false; public void run() { while (!shutdownRequested) { // ... do something ... } } Just set the shutdownRequested variable to true to quit the loop and stop the thread.
