Android WebView TimeOut

Question

Is there a way to set the timeout value in WebView? I want the WebView to be timeouted if the url is too slow to response.

We can use onLoadResource method of WebViewClient instead of Timer. Like this:

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

    @Override 
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return false;
    }

    @Override 
    public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
        super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        progressDialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
        super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        Log.d("WEBCLIENT", "onPageFinished");
    }

    @Override 
    public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
        super.onLoadResource(view, url);
        Log.d("WEBCLIENT","onLoadResource");

        if(webView.getProgress() == 100) {
            progressDialog.dismiss();
        }    
    }
}
