 String page = executeHttpGet("http://192.168.1.109/temp/android.php");

 private String executeHttpGet(String URL) throws Exception {

    BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;
    try {
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        client.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.USER_AGENT,
                "android");
        HttpGet request = new HttpGet();
        request.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
        request.setURI(new URI(URL));
        HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
        bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response
                .getEntity().getContent()));

        StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer("");
        String line = "";

        String NL = System.getProperty("line.separator");
        while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
            stringBuffer.append(line + NL);
            System.out.print(stringBuffer);
        }
        bufferedReader.close();
        page = stringBuffer.toString();
        System.out.println(page + "page");
        return page;
    } finally {
        if (bufferedReader != null) {
            try {
                bufferedReader.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.d("BBB", e.toString());
            }
        }
    }
}

Thank you.

..if takes more time then i want to
give warning to…

Since you know the best time you should get a response why not specify a timeout when creating a connection. See the code snippet below on how to set the timeout. You then catch the timeout error and notify that the service too long to respond.

DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpParams params = httpClient.getParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, 5000);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, 5000);

ClientExecutor executor = new ApacheHttpClient4Executor(httpClient);
