Stop handler.postDelayed()

Question

I call multiple Handlers by new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable()..... How can I stop it when I click on back?

public class MyActivity extends AppCompatA         


        

Answer 1

You can define a boolean and change it to false when you want to stop handler. Like this..

boolean stop = false;

handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {

        //do your work here..

        if (!stop) {
            handler.postDelayed(this, delay);
        }
    }
}, delay);
