When using the ExecutorService returned by Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(), how do I interrupt it?
In order to do this, you need to
submit()a task to anExecutorService, rather than callingexecute(). When you do this, aFutureis returned that can be used to manipulate the scheduled task. In particular, you can callcancel(true)on the associatedFutureto interrupt a task that is currently executing (or skip execution altogether if the task hasn’t started running yet).By the way, the object returned by
Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()is actually anExecutorService.
