Hi I think what you mean is for example your sending an HTTP Request to a
server then ur client is blocking waiting for the responde of the server so how
you can stop or close the blocking state? You can shutdown the connection of
the socket actually but provided if when you send the http request it is on a
separate thread from the UI..meaning from the you UI thread u can call the
shutdown...example:
onResume(...)
{
this.mClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
new Thread( new Runnable()
{
myBlockingFunction();
}).start();
}
aBlockingFunction(...)
{
try
{
...
http client communicates with http server here( possible will be in
blocking state if network is not good )
}
catch( IOException e )
{
...
}
catch( Other Exceptions here )
{
...
}
}
onStop()
{
this.mClient.getConnectionManager.shutdown(); //triggers to send an
IOException if the client is on a blocking state so better catch the IOException
}
Hope this helps.

I have a thread listening on a TCP port. When there's nothing coming
in on that port, the thread blocks. This is fine, and the behaviour I
want, but how do I kill said thread while it's blocking?
