Java: how to abort a thread reading from System.in

Question

I have a Java thread:

class MyThread extends Thread {
  @Override
  public void run() {
    BufferedReader stdin =
        new BufferedReader(new InputStream         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried:

Thread myThread = new MyThread();
myThread.start();
// your code.
myThread.interrupt();

The interrupt method will throw an InterrupedtException and you can handle the code after that.
