interrupt prepare()

[IHiroXI]

how I can interrupt the execution of prepare() ?
for example, when using http streams and a bad Internet channel, the prepare function takes a long time and I want to cancel it now so as not to waste traffic on further downloading
now I can only re-create an instance of the class and use the new. and the old in this time spends resources... thread.stop () not supported in dalvik/art and is "not safe"

There's no way to "kill" a running prepare() call. If you really wanted to forcefully kill it you have to do it the "not safe" way and call prepare() in a thread and kill this thread.

Alternatively you can use prepareAsync(), and a call to release() will stop prepareAsync() as soon as possible. You will probably still experience some downloading.

After i call release() track loading via http does not stop. force kill thread with thread.stop() throw UnSupportedOperationException and not working. nothing happens after calling thread.interrupt()
I realized that interrupt() is just a beacon that puts isInterrupted() = true .

is it impossible to make a method that stops an instance of a class immediately?
also I would be happy to set a timeout on prepare() when using http

thanks for answers and great analogue of the standard mediaplayer!
