Run the code you posted above in a back-ground thread (either as a plain
thread or an AsyncTask's 'doInBackground(...)' implementation).
After 5 seconds or on user input, call either the back-ground thread's
'interrupt()' method (if you are using a plain Thread) or 'cancel(true)' on
your AsyncTask (if you're using AsyncTask).
Network I/O is usually (immediately) interrupted by Thread interruptions.
