Stop handler from execution
suggest changeTo stop the Handler from execution remove the callback attached to it using the runnable running inside it:
Runnable my_runnable = new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { // your code here } }; public Handler handler = new Handler(); // use 'new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());' if you want this handler to control something in the UI // to start the handler public void start() { handler.postDelayed(my_runnable, 10000); } // to stop the handler public void stop() { handler.removeCallbacks(my_runnable); } // to reset the handler public void restart() { handler.removeCallbacks(my_runnable); handler.postDelayed(my_runnable, 10000); }
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
Let me know.
