Check if AsyncTask is taking too long
<p>I have an AsyncTask that get info from the web. Sometimes the connection fails  and the AsyncTask processdialog is running forever.</p>

<p>In the doInBackground I have a check in the end if my catched info are empty and if this is the case, it should appear Positive button/Negative button, but this is not happening. The dialog is just running.</p>

<p>How can I check if an AsyncTask is taking too long time (Maybe 5 seconds) and dismiss the dialog?</p>

<p>Code snippet (doInBackground): </p>

<pre><code> //orders is my ArrayList&lt;Order&gt; object, from my own Order class.
 if(orders==null) {
                pdia.dismiss();
                AlertDialog.Builder alt_bld = new AlertDialog.Builder(ctx);
                alt_bld.setMessage("Try agin?")
                .setCancelable(false)
                .setPositiveButton("Try again", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

                    button_refresh.setVisibility(View.GONE);

                     new ListTask().execute(null, null , null);


                }
                })
                .setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                dialog.cancel();
                }

                });
                AlertDialog alert = alt_bld.create();
                alert.setTitle("Connection failed!");
                alert.show();
            }
            else {
                return orders;
            }
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks in advance and tell me if you need more info!</p>
