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....

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);

如果你正在使用HttpURLConnection，调用setConnectTimeout()如下所示:

URL url = new URL(myurl);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setConnectTimeout(CONNECT_TIMEOUT);

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;
