中断活动线程Android

Question

I'm trying to make 2 Threads .

Each Thread can interrupt the other one, the two can't be running at the same time .

I've tried to use the function Thread.interrupt(), but this not trigger an exception inside the Thread.

how can I stop a running Thread at any moment? I only found solutions that involve sleeping threads or myths that Thread.Interrupt() trigger an exception, not only a flag.

val toTransparent: Thread = (object : java.lang.Thread() {
    override fun run() {
        try {
            if (toOpaque.isAlive)
                toOpaque.interrupt()
            while (opacity > 0) {
                sleep(1)
                activityForUI.runOnUiThread() {
                    searchBarEmpresa_linearLayout.background.alpha = opacity
                }
                opacity--
            }
        } catch (e: InterruptedException) {
            Thread.currentThread().interrupt()
            return
        }
    }
})

val toOpaque: Thread = (object : Thread() {
    override fun run() {
        try {
            if (toTransparent.isAlive)
                toTransparent.interrupt()
            while (opacity < 255) {
                sleep(1)
                activityForUI.runOnUiThread() {
                    searchBarEmpresa_linearLayout.background.alpha = opacity
                }
                opacity++
            }
        } catch (e: InterruptedException) {
            Thread.currentThread().interrupt()
            return
        }
    }
})

Calling Thread.Interrupt() from outside the thread being stopped it's generally not a good approach to deal with threads, because it can possibly catch the Thread in some intermediate state, dealing with system resources.

Better create some variables like isThread1AllowedToRun and check for its value:

while (isThread1AllowedToRun) {
    ...
    Thread.sleep(20, 0);
}
