Answer 1

I think it's reasonably clear: Thread.stop is a deprecated API, and deprecated thread methods aren't supported in Android. Therefore it's throwing an UnsupportedOperationException.

The answer is not to use Thread.stop - shut down your threads in a more graceful way, for example by setting a flag which the thread checks periodically.

Answer 2

Thread.stop() is deprecated long ago. Maybe Thread.interrupt() will help you, although it is not often necessary to do dirty things like that ;)
