Hi All,

I use a WebView to display some internet content on one of our app's
Activities.
The problem is that when the user switches out of this activity,
WebView's threads keep running!
The problematic threads are:

        Thread [<17> WebViewCoreThread] (Running)
        Thread [<25> CookieSyncManager] (Running)
        Thread [<19> http0] (Running)
        Thread [<29> http1] (Running)
        Thread [<31> http2] (Running)
        Thread [<33> http3] (Running)

Pausing each one of these threads, and checking what it is busy doing:

Thread [<17> WebViewCoreThread] (Suspended)
        Object.wait(long, int) line: not available [native method]
        MessageQueue(Object).wait() line: 288
        MessageQueue.next() line: 148
        Looper.loop() line: 110
        WebViewCore$WebCoreThread.run() line: 471
        Thread.run() line: 1060

Thread [<25> CookieSyncManager] (Suspended)
        Object.wait(long, int) line: not available [native method]
        MessageQueue(Object).wait(long) line: 326
        MessageQueue.next() line: 144
        Looper.loop() line: 110
        CookieSyncManager(WebSyncManager).run() line: 90
        Thread.run() line: 1060

Thread [<19> http0] (Suspended)
        Object.wait(long, int) line: not available [native method]
        RequestQueue(Object).wait() line: 288
        ConnectionThread.run() line: 93

I wonder how can I tell the Looper in each of those threads to quit.

I tried calling webView.destroy() in the activity's onPause() method,
but it had no influence.
When I disable the call for opening a web page in the webView
( webView.loadUrl(...) ), those threads naturally are not started, and
therefore don't stay on after leaving the activity.

Any ideas as to how I can make WebView's threads stop after leaving
their activity?

Amit Kotlovski.
