java-从android应用程序响应时间发送php查询到服务

我想在数据库中放入一个entry。用的下面的代码：

String url = String.format("http://xxxxxxx/xxx/index.php?home=yes&pid=%s", pid);        // Create a new HttpClient and Post Header        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);    try {        ResponseHandler responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();        String response = httpclient.execute(httppost, responseHandler);         Log.e("abc", response);        return response;        } catch (ClientProtocolException es)         {               Log.e("x" , es.getMessage());            return "";        } catch (IOException e)         {            Log.e("aasx" , e.getMessage());            return "";        }

这段代码能正常运行，现在当有网络连接的时候，代码就会困在httpclient.execute(httppost, responseHandler); 大约俩分钟。

有什么方法可以实现检查几秒钟后，如果没有反应的就会就catch the exceptions?
