How to kill a thread in JAVA ??

Ans:

'Killing a thread' is not the right phrase to use. Here is one way we can implement graceful exit of the thread:

class TaskThread implements Runnable {

    boolean shouldStop;

    public TaskThread(boolean shouldStop) {
        this.shouldStop = shouldStop;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {

        System.out.println("Thread has started");

        while (!shouldStop) {
            // do something
        }

        System.out.println("Thread has ended");

    }
public void stop() {
        shouldStop = true;
    }


}
public class ThreadStop
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Start");

// Start the thread
TaskThread task = new TaskThread(false);
Thread t = new Thread(task);
t.start();

  // Stop the thread
task.stop();

  System.out.println("End");

}
}
