I have an Android app that connects in a server searching for updates. If the server takes a long time to respond (+500ms), I have to finish my method and continue with the program.
I already set the readTimeout and connectTimeout to 500 ms, but even then my method are taking about 30 seconds in this line: c.connect();
This is my code:
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) updateUrl.openConnection();
c.setConnectTimeout(500);
c.setReadTimeout(500);
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect(); // the program stops here
What I need to do?
Thanks a lot, Asok!! I solved using org.apache.http.client.HttpClient:
HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, 500);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, 500);
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(updateUrl.toURI());
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpClient.setParams(httpParameters);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpget);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream is = entity.getContent();
//download file.....
