Method Detail

suspend_

public void suspend_()

If the subclass is correctly implemented using the suspended boolean variable, the Thread will finish all its tasks and then remain in a sleep-mode until its resumed. (suspended = true)

resume_

public void resume_()

suspended is reset to false, so the Thread should leave the sleep-loop and start working again.

finish

public void finish()

This should make the Thread leave its loop and thus finish. (finishing = true)

isFinished

public boolean isFinished()

Leaving the run method, the variable finished should be set to true. If that was done, the Thread can be queried on whether or not its finished, yet, with this method.
