Question

I used some thread objects in my Android activity. But these threads do not stop itself when Activity on destroy. My code for thread-stopping as following:

Answer 1

trying to stop the thread from outside is not reliable.

I suggest to use global param using SharePreferences or Application Context, ( e.g. IS_APP_ACTIVE ) across your app
and let thread kill itself.

let me try to explain a bit...

in your Activity

protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

// isAppActive
        CommonUtils.setAppActive(mContext, true);
}

protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();

// isAppActive
        CommonUtils.setAppActive(mContext, true);
}

in your thread

if ( !CommonUtils.isAppActive(mContext) )

just get out of the thread loop.
