how to set boolean flag of thread-1 from thread-2 in Java multithreading

I am writing a simple multithreaded application that involves three threads: Thread-1, Thread-2 and main.

Thread-1 is a random number generator class that produces random doubles and feeds to Thread-2.

Thread-2 consumes the numbers to calculate the average .I have used PipedOutputStream that Thread-1 feeds with random numbers. Thread-2 uses PipedInputStream to eat up the random numbers.

The question is::

if the average exceeds 1E5 in Thread-2, I want to signal Thread-1 to stop producing numbers. I have a boolean flag in Thread-1 that needs to be turned on. How can I achieve this?

import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PipedInputStream;
import java.io.PipedOutputStream;
import java.util.Random;

//

class NumGen extends Thread {

    PipedOutputStream pos;
    DataOutputStream dos;
    boolean isDone=false;

    public NumGen(PipedOutputStream pos){
        this.pos=pos;
        dos=new DataOutputStream(pos);
    }

    public void run(){
        while (!isDone){
            Random rand = new Random();
            try {
                dos.writeDouble(rand.nextDouble()+100.0);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

class RunningAvg extends Thread {

    PipedInputStream pis;
    DataInputStream dis;
    Double avg;
    int count;
    Double runningTotal;

    public RunningAvg(PipedInputStream pis){
        this.pis=pis;
        dis=new DataInputStream(pis);
            runningTotal=0.0;
    avg=0.0;
    }

    public void run(){
        try {
        while (dis.available()>0){
            count+=1;
            runningTotal+=dis.readDouble();
                avg=runningTotal/count;
                System.out.printf("The average in count no : %s is %s%n",count,avg);
                //if avg>1E5
                 //set NumGen.isDone=true
        }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }


public class InterThreadComm {

    public static void main(String[] args){


    try {
        PipedOutputStream pos= new PipedOutputStream();
        PipedInputStream pis = new PipedInputStream(pos);
        NumGen ng = new NumGen(pos);
        RunningAvg ra = new RunningAvg(pis);
        ng.start();
        ra.start();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }


}

PS: The code as it is runs forever without printing anything on console which I am yet to figure out why!!

You could use AtomicBoolean and pass it to the both threads, Atomic types is accessable throw multithreading also thread safe.

first declare you flag isDone as AtomicBoolean

private AtomicBoolean isDone;

then declare one AtomicBoolean object and pass it to the both threads

PipedOutputStream pos= new PipedOutputStream();
PipedInputStream pis = new PipedInputStream(pos);
AtomicBoolean isDone = new AtomicBoolean();
NumGen ng = new NumGen(pos, isDone);
RunningAvg ra = new RunningAvg(pis, isDone);
ng.start();
ra.start();

finally once you want to stop generting numbers ask Thread-2 to set the isDone false.
