Hi all.
Hope you can help me out with this problem.
I am trying to get a bluetooth finder to stop, and start again.
What I can see is that the first time it stops and then start again, it work. the next time I do it, nothing happens. When I say it works, I mean it finds the devices and lists them. It doesnt do that the second time. I can see that it doesnt stop the first time as my test output keeps spitting out data. Hope someone can help me here. thx in advance.

P.s. this is a modification of another bluetooth code so not my own work, just trying to rewrite it so it fits my need.

Your code is almost a hundred lines, and your indentation is inconsistent, it would have definitely helped if you would have followed one indentation pattern at least consistently

and you don't stop threads. You tell them that they should at their leasure do what's needed to terminate (of course after closing and cleaning up resources, etc.).

What I am trying to do, is to "terminate" the Finder, when a specific command is called, and then start it again, when another command is called. So the code in the first part, is where I want to have the "terminate" command. I have tried to implement it in the method void stop_search_command, but it doesnt stop it.

First indent that monster, also read this on how to use code tags correctly and then repost the RELEVANT section of the code.

The part I am trying to solve, is how I stop the search of a device, and how I restart it again. The code for finding a device is this

import java.io.IOException;

What I am trying to do is to make a command that can stop this thread???, and start it again by calling another command. Hope you can help me here.
thx.
