Then don't do that. Have you tried setting a semaphore that tells the thread to stop on its own?

Never kill a thread. Learn multithreading by reading books or doing tutorials. You don't want to improvise code without understanding how it works...

in my case when i write interupt and then abort, it does not do anything but before finishing the code block it gives an error "Thread Aborted". I took the whole code block in try catch and didn't throw any error message but it still shows error message. So, any idea how to stop the Thread?

you can use this property to check the thread is alive or not based on that you can kill it..

I have already tried but it says the "Thread" is still alive. What should I do?

Karthik_Mahalingam 16-Jan-14 7:12am

you need to kill it forcefully ??

agent_kruger 16-Jan-14 7:16am

how?

Karthik_Mahalingam 16-Jan-14 7:29am

you need to kill it by explicitly or need to wait till the process gets completed.. ??
