I have a thread inside an Activity.
Is the thread killed by the system when the Activity terminates, or do I need to manually kill it (say, in onDestory())?
Thanks

I believe that the accepted answer posted here, should answer your question.
How does Android handle background threads when leaving an Activity?
i.e. No, Android does not manually kill threads that you create yourself. You need to clean them up. See the link above for the full discussion.
