http connection timeout issues
- by Mark
I'm running into an issue when i try to use the HttpClient connecting
to a url. The http connection is taking a longer time to timeout, even after i set
a connection timeoout.
int timeoutConnection = 5000;
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection);
int timeoutSocket = 5000;
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);
It works perfect most of the time. However, every once in while, the http connection runs for ever and ignore the setconnectiontimeout, especailly when the phone is connected to wifi, and the phone was idling.
So after the phone is idling, the first time i try to connect, the http connection ignores the setconnectiontimeout and runs forever, after i cancel it and try again, it works like charm everytime. But that one time that doesn't work it creates a threadtimeout error, i tried using a different thread, it works, but i know that the thread is running for long time.
I understand that the wifi goes to sleep on idle, but i dont understand why its ignoring the setconnectiontimeout.
Anyone can help, id really appreciated.
