title: Killing a thread in java android
body: <p>I have an application where i need to call 3 methods in 3 seperate threads and kill them afterwards. According to the Javadoc i noticed that thread <code>stop()</code> and even <code>destroy()</code> has been deprecated. its like I start one thread after the other and then kill similarly one after the other. Is there a particular way to kill the threads because I cant use the deprecated methods</p>
  
  <p>Any help much appreciated.
  Thanks again</p>
