protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
    String response = "";

    startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    for (String url : urls) {
        DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
        try {

            HttpResponse execute = client.execute(httpGet);
            InputStream content = execute.getEntity().getContent();


            BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(content));
            String s = "";
            while ((s = buffer.readLine()) != null) {
                response += s;
            }
            endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    return response;
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub


    long dataSize = result.length() / 1024;
    takenTime = endTime - startTime;
    long s = takenTime / 1000;
    double speed = dataSize / s;

    Toast.makeText(context, "" + s + "kbps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
