Google is providing 2 different examples of HttpURLConnection usage. Not calling HttpURLConnection's disconnect
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/connecting.html // Given a URL, establishes an HttpUrlConnection and retrieves// the web page content as a InputStream, which it returns as// a string.private String downloadUrl(String myurl) throws IOException { InputStream is = null; // Only display the first 500 characters of the retrieved // web page content. int len = 500; try { URL url = new URL(myurl); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setReadTimeout(10000 /* milliseconds */); conn.setConnectTimeout(15000 /* milliseconds */); conn.setRequestMethod("GET"); conn.setDoInput(true); // Starts the query conn.connect(); int response = conn.getResponseCode(); Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "The response is: " + response); is = conn.getInputStream(); // Convert the InputStream into a string String contentAsString = readIt(is, len); return contentAsString; // Makes sure that the InputStream is closed after the app is // finished using it. } finally { if (is != null) { is.close(); } }} ------------------------------ Calling HttpURLConnection's disconnect http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html URL url = new URL("http://www.android.com/";); HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); try { InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream()); readStream(in); finally { urlConnection.disconnect(); } } ------------------------------ This rather confuses us as developer. Should we, call HttpURLConnection's disconnect or not? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
