How do I kill an Android thread completely?

Question

I have a service that has its own thread running on background. I\'d like to kill that service including the thread.

I created the thread like this and run it.

Answer 1

to kill the thread , i think you can do like this :

myService.getThread().interrupt();

NOTE : the method Thread.stop() is deprecated

EDIT : : try this

public void stopThread(){
  if(myService.getThread()!=null){
      myService.getThread().interrupt();
      myService.setThread(null);
  }
}
