Can anyone tell me the proper way to terminate a LooperThread?
Below is the code from the Developer site, but it seems all the methods for
stopping it have been deprecated.
class LooperThread extends Thread {
public Handler mHandler;
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
mHandler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// process incoming messages here
}
};
Looper.loop();
}
}
I'm using this in a Service, which creates a main Thread, and the main
thread checks to see if I need to update my server with GPS coordinates. If
I do need to send the GPS info, I create a looper thread using the base code
above, and join to it for a maximum of 60 seconds.
I am able to register to receive the GPS information, and set a
LocationListener inside the Looper Thread, and receive the GPS information.
When I get the onStatusChanged event with a status of 2 (Available), I want
to stop/terminate the looperThread, so that I can continue on with the main
thread, but I don't see any methods left that allow me to terminate it
properly. The join times out, and the main thread continues, but the
LooperThread never disappears.
Should I be using another method with SDK 1.5.r2 ?
Sincerely,
Brad Gies
