Thread Malfunction

I have this project, with 2 classes. activity_main has 2 buttons, button1 runs a thread and I want to stop it with button2, but it does not work, because while the thread is runnin

Solution 1:

To run a Thread instance in a separate thread, it's Thread#start(), not Thread#run(). Thread#run() will not create a new thread but just run run() in the current thread (which is UI Thread, this is why you get ANR).

Also it's better to implement Runnable than to extend Thread.
