Terminating Network Communication

[Danish Shaukat]

Hi all,

I am using a separate thread for exchanging data between my midlet and servlet. Is there any way to terminate or cancel this operation?

Since there is no way to forcibly stop a thread in CLDC 1.0, so how will a user cancel the network communication? This might be required if it is taking too long or for any other reason.

Well if it was my phone, I'd just hit the "Cancel" button. Basically I can end anything hitting this key. It is the "Hang up call" button.

Mark,

Thanks for replying. Some phones do have this Cancel button. But this is the phone�s Cancel button. It is not a command mapped on to the soft key by the midlet. Hitting this will destroy the midlet and the user will exit.

So, is there a way of programmatically terminating network communication/threads in J2ME?

You can always add a Command to the "Screen" using the Command object, and selecting it would kill the application.
