I have a thread that is doing Datagram(UDP) Socket communication. But I want to be able to interrupt/abort this thread at any time from my main UI. For blocking socket calls like read() and send() I can do this very well by calling interrupt() on the thread object. After those blocking calls my thread checks a flag to see if the main UI is telling it to quit. If so, then it quits. But for InetAddress.getByName() this doesn't seem to work. This call can block for a long time (up to 20 seconds in one test I did) if the Internet is not accessible for some reason. That is a long time to wait to abort a thread. What is the right way to cause a thread to abort a call to InetAddress.getByName() ?
