Can anybody show me a good non-deprecated way to stop scanThread in the 
following code? Setting it to null does not make her stop. What more should 
I do to make her stop?
************************************************************
btScan.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
            btScanCounter++;
            btScan.setText("Cancel Search");
            Thread t1 = new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    handleScanButton();
                }};
            if ((btScanCounter%2) == 0) {
                scanThread = null; // THIS DOES NOT WORK
                btScan.setText("Auto Search");
            } else {
                if (scanThread == null) {
                    scanThread = new Thread(t1);
                    scanThread.start();
            }
         }
      }});
