How to set HttpResponse timeout for Android in Java

Question

I have created the following function for checking the connection status:

private void checkConnectionStatus() {
    HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpC         


        

Answer 1

To set settings on the client:

AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("Awesome User Agent V/1.0");
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 3000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(client.getParams(), 5000);

I've used this successfully on JellyBean, but should also work for older platforms ....
