Well, HttpClient doesn't use sockets directly, so you would not be able to close the corresponding sockets. The execute method is actually the method that is blocking for the first time.
You can look at the underlying request classes like HttpPost and HttpGet. Both of them are subclasses of HttpRequestBase class which has an abort method. May that would help. Another way, might be to specify the timeout to a few seconds. :) Kumar Bibek http://techdroid.kbeanie.com http://www.kbeanie.com On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 10:37 PM, ivan <istas...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm wondering what the currently suggested method is for interrupting > a read operation of a socket input stream? > > I know that traditionally the read could be interrupted by closing the > socket from another thread and catching an IOException, but I'm not > quite sure how to get at the socket from the apache classes. > > Maybe I should use some sort of interruptible channel instead ... ? > > Any links or help is greatly appreciated. > > My code looks like this -- minus most of the error handling: > > org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient > org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet > org.apache.http.HttpResponse > > DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters); > > HttpGet request = new HttpGet(Uri); > > HttpResponse response = client.execute(request); > > InputStream entityStream = response.getEntity().getContent(); > > try > { > bytesRead = entityStream.read(data); > } > catch (IOException ex) > { > > } > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<android-developers%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
