Android how to show toast on Connection TimeOUT

Question

I am using below code (from this answer by kuester2000) to check the connection time out in Android. On top of this how can I show Toast if connection actually times out? Any suggestion?

/*Client timeout*/
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;        //3Seconds
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection);
// Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT) 
// in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data.
int timeoutSocket = 5000;            //5Seconds
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);
/*Client timeout ends*/

final HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);

//HOW TO SHOW TOAST MESSAGE WHEN THIS CASE ACTUALLY OCCURS ??

You can use try catch block for that.

try{
    //your code of making request
}
catch (ConnectTimeoutException e) {
    Toast.makeText(context, "Connection timed out.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();    
}

Make sure to pass proper context from Activity.

Hope this helps.

Don't i get anything in response ? i mean something like "504" code ? – user45678 Oct 07 '14 at 08:05
I guess that will return response = null. :) @user45678 – MysticMagicϡ Oct 07 '14 at 08:06
Are you sure ? Then i can directly check for null response ? – user45678 Oct 07 '14 at 08:06
@user45678 You can debug and check using response handler, but I think it won't be a proper way to check for null. Specially, when you can handle using try catch for particular ConnectionTimeoutException in a better way. – MysticMagicϡ Oct 07 '14 at 08:08
