I\'m running into an issue when i try to use the HttpClient connecting to a url. The http connection is taking a longer time to timeout, even after i set a connection timeoo
Well, if you idle/multitask to another application, then your thread that is running might be stopped and destroyed. Maybe you should put the connection code inside a Service instead?:
