How to stop a thread waiting in a blocking read operation in Java?

Question

I have a thread that executes the following code:

public void run() {
    try {
        int n = 0;
        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
        while ((n          


        

Answer 1

you can use a external flag for this

boolean flag = true;


public void run() { 
    try { 
        int n = 0; 
        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096]; 
        while ((n = in.read(buffer)) != -1 && flag) { 
            out.write(buffer, 0, n); 
            out.flush(); 
        } 
    } catch (IOException e) { 
        System.out.println(e); 
    } 
}
