i have a thread that is connecting to a url to obtaining some data.

Sometimes the method httpConnection.connect(); taked too munch time to get
the response, and i want to limit the loading dialog of this connection
thread to 5 seg.

I tryed adding timeouts into the code, *but it doesn't work*!!

            URL formattedUrl = new URL(url);
            URLConnection connection = formattedUrl.openConnection();
            connection.setConnectTimeout(5000);
            connection.setReadTimeout(5000);
            HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
            httpConnection.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
            httpConnection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
            httpConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
            httpConnection.setConnectTimeout(5000);
            httpConnection.setReadTimeout(5000);
            httpConnection.connect();

So, i must stop the connect method and the thread when 5000 seconds have
passed or when the used has pressed the back key on the phone.

How can this be achieved? i can't find info about doing this work in
android with a url connection thread.

thanks

Do your connection in a separate thread or AsyncTask. You can time the
thread and ignore it if it takes too long. Now you'll be getting into
thread control which really is a whole other subject.

Run the code you posted above in a back-ground thread (either as a plain
thread or an AsyncTask's 'doInBackground(...)' implementation).

After 5 seconds or on user input, call either the back-ground thread's
'interrupt()' method (if you are using a plain Thread) or 'cancel(true)' on
your AsyncTask (if you're using AsyncTask).

Network I/O is usually (immediately) interrupted by Thread interruptions.
