How to stop HttpURLConnection connect on Android

I use AsyncTask to connect an URLPath as below code.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
           


        

Answer 1

Save the HttpURLConnection response by (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection(); as a class member: HttpURLConnection mHttpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();

after you call future.cancel(true); then call mHttpURLConnection.disconnect()

so the network request will end as fast as possible
