How to kill all/particular background thread in Javafx?

Question

The application is having four javafx fxml-screens : login, home, profile and features. A lots of worker thread is created in various screens after login is done. When user is getting logout, the all worker thread except Javafx-Application-Thread should be cancelled.

Answer 1

A convenient way to manage your worker threads is to use the Executor framework.

Example:

ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2);

//  submit your JavaFX tasks and services 
executorService.shutdown();
//executorService.shutdownNow();
