Timeout in DefaultHttpClient Class Android

Question

I have created an Android application where I connect to a remote server php file to retrieve some information. Below is the code for that.

Here I want to add timeo

Answer 1

Use the HttpConnectionParams of your DefaultHttpClient::

final HttpParams httpParameters = yourHttpClient.getParams();

HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, connectionTimeOutSec * 1000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout        (httpParameters, socketTimeoutSec * 1000);

Answer 2

final HttpParams httpParameters = yourHttpClient.getParams();

HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, connectionTimeOutSec * 1000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout        (httpParameters, socketTimeoutSec * 1000);

If that does not work (as in my case). try this which works for me (link)

HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();

// Set the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established.
// The default value is zero, that means the timeout is not used. 
int timeoutConnection = 3000;
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection);

// Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT) 
// in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data.
int timeoutSocket = 5000;
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
