Can not increase connection timeout

Question

I want to increase timeout to 5 minutes because one minute is not enough to receive response.

I ahve tried this two approaches:

        HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
        HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, 80000);
        HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, 80000);



        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);


        if (isNetworkAvailable()) {
            createRequest();
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
            final int code = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();

        AndroidDefaultClient client = AndroidDefaultClient.newInstance("tets");
        HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpClient.getParams(), 5* 60 *1000);
        HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpClient.getParams(), 5* 60 *1000);

Unfortunatly the timeout remains the same, but in case when I make it smaller, e.g. 10000, it works fine. Could you please help me to figure out with this issue?

Answer 1

The Javadoc is incorrect on this point. The default connection timeout is platform-dependent, around a minute, and cannot be increased, only decreased.

Answer 2

Are you testing on an emulator? Perhaps you need to increase the adb connection timeout as mentioned here.

Or you might need to re-order your params and client code to have the params come first as talked about here.
