I am trying to use the setConnectTimeout function as follows:
protected HttpURLConnection getConnection() throws SocketTimeoutException, IOException{
Log.d("HTTPRequest", address);
URL page = new URL(address);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) page.openConnection();
connection.setUseCaches(cacheResult);
connection.setConnectTimeout(3000);
connection.connect();
return connection;
}
and then:
public String getTextData() throws InternetConnectionUnavailableException {
try{
HttpURLConnection conn = getConnection();
StringBuffer text = new StringBuffer();
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader((InputStream) conn.getContent());
BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(in);
String line;
while (true) {
if((line = buff.readLine()) != null){
text.append(line);
}else{
break;
}
}
return (text.toString());
} catch (SocketTimeoutException socketTimeoutException) {
throw new InternetConnectionUnavailableException();
} catch (IOException ioException) {
throw new InternetConnectionUnavailableException();
}
}
However, it never ends up in a catch block (SocketTimeoutException socketTimeoutException). What is wrong here.
PS For testing, I made a page that makes my server sleep for 10 seconds.
