How interrupt/stop a thread in Java?

Question

I\'m trying to stop a thread but I can\'t do that :

public class Middleware {

public void read() {
    try {
        socket = new Socket(\"192.168.1.8\", 20         


        

Answer 1

if you want to interrupt a running thread, then you need to have access to the thread object.

thread = new Thread(scan);
thread.start();

then say

thread.interrupt();

this will interrupt the running thread.
