Socket throw exception only after 1 minutes

Question

i recently develop an app that can use java socket to connect to java server socket in PC. This code work perfectly when connect to the server it send String immediately after the thread had been called but i dont know why when i close the server and try it then it did not throw exception immediately but after 1 minute the page idle then only the exception page called.

Here the logcat file when server is open and also when it close: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3jeF0.jpg

    public class checksession implements Runnable
    {
    private Activity activity;
    Socket soc;

    public checksession(Activity activity)
    {
        //get activity from class called
        this.activity=activity;
        //this.soc=soc;

    }


    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        try{

            soc=new Socket("192.168.0.113",11000);


            DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream(soc.getOutputStream());


            //request format --> requestkey-field required
            //format for LG request--> LG-username-password
            String sendrequest="SS";

            //send requestcode to server
            dout.writeUTF(sendrequest);
            dout.flush();//refresh to make sure it send to the server

            //wait for input
            DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream(soc.getInputStream());
            final String  codefromserver=(String)dis.readUTF();
            System.out.println("reply:"+codefromserver);


            String replycode[]= codefromserver.split("-");

            //server reply code format
            // if not used on database RE-CK-NO
            //if used on database RE-CK-YES

            String sessionavailableornot=replycode[2];

            if(sessionavailableornot.equals("YES"))
            {
                activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        //Do your UI operations like dialog opening or Toast here
                        //navigate user to main screen
                        Intent in = new Intent(activity, sessiondetected.class);
                        in.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                        activity.startActivity(in);
                    }
                });

            }

            soc.close();

        }catch(Exception e) {
            //runOnUiThread function is to let the function to be run on main thread
            //bacause UI function cannot be run on worker thread
            activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    //Do your UI operations like dialog opening or Toast here
                    //navigate user back to connectionerror page so that user know
                    Intent inerr = new Intent(activity, serverconnectionerror.class);
                    inerr.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                    activity.startActivity(inerr);
                }
            });
        }

    }
}

You need to specify timeout values for the socket; otherwise platform defaults will be used.

The following code sets the SO_TIMEOUT (socket read timeout) and the connection timeout values before opening the socket.

final int timeout = 2000; // in millis
soc = new Socket();
soc.setSoTimeout(timeout);
soc.connect(new InetSocketAddress("192.168.0.113", 11000), timeout);
