File1

public class controller extends Activity {


/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

final LanSendThread lanSendThread = new LanSendThread();
lanSendThread.start();
....}

__________

File2

public class LanSendThread extends Thread{
public static Handler lanSendHandler;

@Override
public void run(){
Looper.prepare();

lanSendHandler = new Handler() {
//stuff}

___________

How do I access the thread lanSendThread from another class in another file?

How do I access the thread lanSendThread from another class in another
file?

The same way you'd access it if it were an ArrayList or
a JButton or a File: You save the reference somewhere and dish it out to
interested parties. There must be two or three jillion ways to do this; a few
of them are

- Make `lanSendThread' a public member of the controller
class (poor choice of name, by the way). You may or may
not want to make that member `final'.

- Make `lanSendThread' a private member of the controller
class, and write a public getThread() method to return it.

- Stash the value of `lanSendThread' in a Map or other data
structure, and "publicize" the data structure and/or
accessors for it.
