如果你正在使用默认的http客户端，下面是如何使用默认的http参数:

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpParams params = client.getParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, 3000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, 3000);

你可以通过HttpClient -android-4.3.5创建HttpClient实例，它可以很好地工作。

 SSLContext sslContext = SSLContexts.createSystemDefault();
        SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslsf = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(
                sslContext,
                SSLConnectionSocketFactory.STRICT_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
                RequestConfig.Builder requestConfigBuilder = RequestConfig.custom().setCircularRedirectsAllowed(false).setConnectionRequestTimeout(30*1000).setConnectTimeout(30 * 1000).setMaxRedirects(10).setSocketTimeout(60 * 1000);
        CloseableHttpClient hc = HttpClients.custom().setSSLSocketFactory(sslsf).setDefaultRequestConfig(requestConfigBuilder.build()).build();

在我的示例中，设置了两个超时。连接超时抛出java.net.SocketTimeoutException:套接字未连接，套接字超时。

HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
// Set the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established.
// The default value is zero, that means the timeout is not used. 
int timeoutConnection = 3000;
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection);
// Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT) 
// in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data.
int timeoutSocket = 5000;
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet);

如果你想设置任何现有HTTPClient(例如DefaultHttpClient或AndroidHttpClient)的参数，你可以使用函数setParams()。

httpClient.setParams(httpParameters);

HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
            HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(httpParameters, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
            HttpProtocolParams.setContentCharset(httpParameters,
                    HTTP.DEFAULT_CONTENT_CHARSET);
            HttpProtocolParams.setUseExpectContinue(httpParameters, true);

            // Set the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is
            // established.
            // The default value is zero, that means the timeout is not used.
            int timeoutConnection = 35 * 1000;
            HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters,
                    timeoutConnection);
            // Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT)
            // in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data.
            int timeoutSocket = 30 * 1000;
            HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);

一种选择是使用OkHttp客户端，来自Square。

添加库依赖项

在构建中。Gradle，包括这一行:

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:x.x.x'

其中x.x.x为所需的库版本号。

设置客户端

例如，如果你想设置一个60秒的超时，这样做:

final OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient();
okHttpClient.setReadTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
okHttpClient.setConnectTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

ps:如果你的minSdkVersion大于8，你可以使用TimeUnit.MINUTES。所以，你可以简单地使用:

okHttpClient.setReadTimeout(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
okHttpClient.setConnectTimeout(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES);

有关单位的详细信息，请参见TimeUnit。

public boolean isInternetWorking(){
    try {
        int timeOut = 5000;
        Socket socket = new Socket();
        SocketAddress socketAddress = new InetSocketAddress("8.8.8.8",53);
        socket.connect(socketAddress,timeOut);
        socket.close();
        return true;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        //silent
    }
    return false;
}
