I have a java file which is written in the following format:



Basically I want a boolean value which can be updated by both classes in the file and I don't know how.

The boolean is a flag which, if false will terminate a loop in both myClass and myThread.

I think you can have a global static variable in the MyClass class and give it accessor and mutator method to check and change its value.

Something like this should let you access bool from both classes, assuming you can move myThread into myClass. Haven't tested it - mabe bool needs to have higher visibility than private.
