B4J Question Stop jtelegrambot

[Yoldi]

Regards. I am doing a bot with jtelegrambot and if I go out and restart the application when initializing the bot it tells me that it is running on another thread. How can I stop it? Thank you.

Sub mainform_Closed

End Sub

use this code on mainform

The jtelegrambot is a Non-UI application, so there is no mainform.

To terminate Non-UI applications, check these links:

Alternatively, you could kill the app through Task Manager (in Windows), but if you are running multiple jar processes, it would be hard to tell which process to kill.

If you are using the bot in a UI app then use

jtb.stop

to stop the bot before you quit the UIApp...

the example for the bot IS using a UIapp to show the log in the window...

I stand corrected.

I've been playing with the non-UI app included in the BotExample.zip, from your link here:

I stand corrected.

no. Sorry, my fault! IT is a nonui app... i just have the IDE open to see the LOG...

So, stopping the Bot must use the usually way to kill the java process.

Alternatively you can use a "Special" command to send to the bot. If the bot receives this command from a specific UID then the bot can be stopped by jtb.Stop and then calling exitapplication.

Regards.

I have an application with two buttons one to start the bot with jtb.startAsync and another button to stop the bot with jtb.stop.

stopping the bot and then starting it gives the following error java.lang.IllegalStateException: You cannot start the bot while it is not idle.

Is it possible to do this?

Thank you

stop stopps the bot at the next timeout.

The Bot isn´t supposed to be stopped, started, stopped.

Create a App (NON UI). Start the bot and let it running.

There is no way to stop and start it again in the library behind.

Is it possible to do this?

No.
