Stop thread in android

I have a thread:

handlerStoper.post(new Runnable() {

                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            startTime.setText(""+count);
                            startTime.invalidate();
                            count++;
                            handlerStoper.postDelayed(this, 1000);

                        }
                    });

How can I stop this thread i other place?

public final void removeCallbacks (Runnable r)

Added in API level 1

Remove any pending posts of Runnable r that are in the message queue.

Use removeCallbacks as @blackbelt Sugested or pass the runnable instance as param.

    handlerStoper.removeCallbacks(null);

to remove all the callback from an handler you have to call:

handlerStoper.removeCallbacks(null);

with the argument null all the Runnable will be removed. If you want to remove a specific runnable you have to provide as parameter the instance of the Runnable you want to remove.

public final void removeCallbacks (Runnable r)

Handler mhandler=new Handler();

Runnable r= new Runnable() {

                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        startTime.setText(""+count);
                        startTime.invalidate();
                        count++;
                        mhandler.postDelayed(r, 1000);

public void run() {
startTime.setText(""+count);
startTime.invalidate();
count++;

if(flag){

                        handlerStoper.postDelayed(this, 1000);

     }
}

set the flag value to false when you want to stop the thread.
