Question

Is there a way to set a Timeout to an InputStream?

My current code looks like that:

public class DownloadFile implements Runnable {
private EventHandler eh;
private String source;
private String destination;

public void run(){
    try {
        Log.d("Download", "Download... " + source);
        URL url = new URL(source);

        URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
        connection.connect();

        int fileLength = connection.getContentLength();

        InputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
        OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(destination + "t");
