在客户端进行设置。

AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance("Awesome User Agent V/1.0");
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 3000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(client.getParams(), 5000);

我已经在JellyBean上成功地使用了这一点，但也应该适用于较旧的平台....

如果你正在使用Jakarta的http客户端库，那么你可以这样做:

        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
        client.getParams().setParameter(HttpClientParams.CONNECTION_MANAGER_TIMEOUT, new Long(5000));
        client.getParams().setParameter(HttpClientParams.SO_TIMEOUT, new Integer(5000));
        GetMethod method = new GetMethod("http://www.yoururl.com");
        method.getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.SO_TIMEOUT, new Integer(5000));
        method.getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER,
        int statuscode = client.executeMethod(method);

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);

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;
}

对于那些说@kuester2000的答案不起作用的人，请注意HTTP请求，首先尝试找到带有DNS请求的主机IP，然后向服务器发出实际的HTTP请求，因此您可能还需要为DNS请求设置超时。

如果你的代码没有超时的DNS请求，这是因为你能够到达DNS服务器或你正在击中Android DNS缓存。顺便说一下，您可以通过重新启动设备来清除这个缓存。

这段代码扩展了原始的答案，包括一个自定义超时的手动DNS查找:

//Our objective
String sURL = "http://www.google.com/";
int DNSTimeout = 1000;
int HTTPTimeout = 2000;

//Get the IP of the Host
URL url= null;
try {
     url = ResolveHostIP(sURL,DNSTimeout);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    Log.d("INFO",e.getMessage());
}

if(url==null){
    //the DNS lookup timed out or failed.
}

//Build the request parameters
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, HTTPTimeout);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, HTTPTimeout);

DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(params);

HttpResponse httpResponse;
String text;
try {
    //Execute the request (here it blocks the execution until finished or a timeout)
    httpResponse = client.execute(new HttpGet(url.toString()));
} catch (IOException e) {
    //If you hit this probably the connection timed out
    Log.d("INFO",e.getMessage());
}

//If you get here everything went OK so check response code, body or whatever

使用方法:

//Run the DNS lookup manually to be able to time it out.
public static URL ResolveHostIP (String sURL, int timeout) throws MalformedURLException {
    URL url= new URL(sURL);
    //Resolve the host IP on a new thread
    DNSResolver dnsRes = new DNSResolver(url.getHost());
    Thread t = new Thread(dnsRes);
    t.start();
    //Join the thread for some time
    try {
        t.join(timeout);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        Log.d("DEBUG", "DNS lookup interrupted");
        return null;
    }

    //get the IP of the host
    InetAddress inetAddr = dnsRes.get();
    if(inetAddr==null) {
        Log.d("DEBUG", "DNS timed out.");
        return null;
    }

    //rebuild the URL with the IP and return it
    Log.d("DEBUG", "DNS solved.");
    return new URL(url.getProtocol(),inetAddr.getHostAddress(),url.getPort(),url.getFile());
}   

这个类来自这篇博客文章。如果你要用的话，去看看注释。

public static class DNSResolver implements Runnable {
    private String domain;
    private InetAddress inetAddr;

    public DNSResolver(String domain) {
        this.domain = domain;
    }

    public void run() {
        try {
            InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName(domain);
            set(addr);
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
        }
    }

    public synchronized void set(InetAddress inetAddr) {
        this.inetAddr = inetAddr;
    }
    public synchronized InetAddress get() {
        return inetAddr;
    }
}
