Así que estoy corriendo en un tiempo de espera de socket no funciona. Seguí todas las instrucciones dadas por las publicaciones existentes, pero aún no funciona (nunca obtengo una excepción de tiempo de espera de socket). Aquí está mi código:

AsyncTask<String, Void, String> task = new AsyncTask<String, Void, String>() {
   @Override
   protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
      String location = params[0];

      try {
         HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(location);
         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 = 0;
         HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters,
               timeoutConnection);

         // Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT)
         // in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data.
         int timeoutSocket = 2000;
         HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);

         DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
         Log.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), "STARTING CLIENT!!! ");
         HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpGet);
         Log.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), "CLIENT CANCELLED!!! ");

         if (statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
            ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
            return new Scanner(out.toString()).useDelimiter("\\A").next();
         } else {
            return "";
         }
      } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
         return null;
      } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
         return null;
      }
   }

   @Override
   protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
      try {
         // doStuff
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
};
task.execute(location);

Así que debería obtener una excepción de tiempo de espera de socket después de dos segundos, pero el cliente simplemente está ignorando eso. ¿Alguna ayuda?

Gracias por adelantado

Así que aquí está todo el código:

public void fetch(String location) {    
    AsyncTask<String, Void, String> task = new AsyncTask<String, Void, String>() {
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
            String location = params[0];

            try {
                HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(location);
                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 = 0;
                HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection);
                // Set the default socket timeout (SO_TIMEOUT) 
                // in milliseconds which is the timeout for waiting for data.
                int timeoutSocket = 2000;
                HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);

                DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);
                Log.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), "STARTING CLIENT!!! ");
                HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpGet);
                Log.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), "CLIENT CANCELLED!!! ");

                if (statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
                    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                    response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
                    return new Scanner(out.toString()).useDelimiter("\\A").next();
                } else {
                    return "";
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                return null;
            } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                return null;
            }
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            try {
                //doStuff
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    };
    task.execute(location);
}
