Stopping the Draw thread
Dec 9th, 2005, 1:00pm  
Hello,
I have a fat client java application which uses processing in the presentation layer. The AWT thread forks out a java user thread which is responsible for querying database and retrieving data which is drawn on the UI.
I have made both these threads part of the same thread group.
when there is an exception in the data access thread i want to handle the xception and exit the JVM. Before exiting i want to interrupt / stop all threads.
I cannot seem to be able to stop the AWT thread which is an loop calling draw(). I have tried ThreadGroup.interrupt()

Is there any way i could stop this thread?

thank you
Sameer

you can call noLoop() which will stop updating the ui (see the reference).

or you can call stop(), which will mark the p5 thread as finished so that it exits.
