but I always got zero !!

Could you please help me, thanks

Correct - zero is EXACTLY what you should get if you subtract zero from zero.

res = sec2- sec2;

First you are subtracting 'sec2' from itself rather than subtracting 'sec1'.

Second you are doing that subtraction, and setting 'res' to zero when you create the class instance.

Third you set the values of 'sec1' and 'sec2' but never actually use them anywhere.

long sec1 = System.nanoTime();response = dataInputStream.readUTF();long sec2 = System.nanoTime();

Fourth you NEVER change to value of 'res' anywhere in the code.

txt.setText(Long.toString((myClientTask.res)/2));

So if that code executes at all it will use the value of 'res' from when it was set to zero.

I laugh a lot on my self about this fault , but yes Im beginners and want to learn, thanks

I did that

myClientTask.execute();

txt1.setText(Long.toString(sec1));

txt2.setText(Long.toString(sec2));

and remove res from class instance ....

also I got zero??
