Hello,

I have got a main thread running which can be stay in a pause definition. At the moment the main structure is:

volatile boolean mypause = true;

public voud run()
{
while (true)
{
    if (mypause)
         Thread.sleep(1000);

    // thread is working

}
}

public void pause()
{
   mypause = !mypause;
}




If mypause is switch to false the thread should running. So my question is, how can I do a good pause state, so the thread create minimal system  load.

Thanks a lot

Phil
