Hold on a second. Calling start() on a thread surely keeps a reference somewhere that would prevent the thread from being GC'd while it's still running.
As for the breakpoint, quoting Bob's original message: >> Now put a breakpoint on this line in the thread: BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter .getDefaultAdapter(); << Is not a very specific description, because there are two lines here forming a single statement, if the original formatting is preserved. Single-stepping and breakpoints sometimes act a little weird with multi-line statements. And -- at least in my environment, Eclipse 3.7.2, latest Android stuff -- a breakpoint set on the second of those two lines triggers, but a breakpoint set on the first of the two does not. To make the line-to-code matching more visual, one can add a statement above the two lines in question, set a breakpoint there, then single-step. The "currently executing line" highlight will never hit the first of those two lines, but will hit the second one. -- K 2012/11/2 Latimerius <l4t1m3r...@gmail.com> > On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 4:25 PM, bob <b...@coolfone.comze.com> wrote: > > I changed it to this: > > > > Listener_Thread listener_Thread = new Listener_Thread(this); > > listener_Thread.start(); > > Well what is the lifespan of listener_Thread?
