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

I had the same problem today, and this is how I fixed it, using in.ready() :

public void run() {
    String line;
    // Some code

    while(!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()){
        try {
            if (in.ready()) {
                line = in.readLine();
            } 
        } catch (Exception e) {
            try {
                Thread.currentThread().wait(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException e1) {
                // Do what we want when thread is interrupted
            }
        }
    }
}
