HttpTransportSe.call() method taking up to a minute for web service call

I am calling a web service from my Android application. I have many different calls to this service all through the application and every one of them is returning data in less than a second, except for one. One of my calls can take up to a minute to return the data even though the actual web service call is near instantaneous. The problem occurs with the line:

transport.call(SOAP_ACTION, soapEnvelope);

That is called and the value is returned from the web service almost instantaneously. But it can take up to a minute to reach the next line:

SoapObject result = (SoapObject) soapEnvelope.bodyIn;

What is happening between the web service returning data and the app hitting the next line (above)? Is there a way to reduce this delay? Is there anything simple to check?

Solution

  • Turns out the delay was only while debugging the app. When running the app without the debugger attached it returns near instanteously.
