How to stop Runnable on button click in Android?

Question

I have to start runnable on start button click and stop it on pause button click. My code for start runnable on start button click is

    // TODO Auto-gener         


        

Answer 1

Thread thread;
//inside start button

 thread=new Thread(new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
    sec += 1;
        if(sec >= 60) {
             sec = 0;
             min += 1;
            if (min >= 60) {
                min = 0;
                hour += 1;
        }
         }
         Min_txtvw.setText(String.format(mTimeFormat, hour, min, sec));
         mHandler.postDelayed(mUpdateTime, 1000);
      });
   thread.start();

//inside stop button

mHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(runnable);
thread.stop();
