Change Volley timeout duration

Question

I use the new Volley framework for Android to do a request to my server  But it timeouts before getting the response  although it does respond    I tried adding this code   HttpConnectionParams setConnectionTimeout httpParams  5000   HttpConnectionParams setSoTimeout httpParams  timeoutMs     in HttpClientStack of the Volley framework to a different integer  50000   but it still times out before 50 seconds   Is there a way to change the timeout to a long value

Another way of doing it is in custom JsonObjectRequest by:

@Override
public RetryPolicy getRetryPolicy() {
    // here you can write a custom retry policy and return it
    return super.getRetryPolicy();
}

I ended up adding a method setCurrentTimeout int timeout  to the RetryPolicy and it s implementation in DefaultRetryPolicy   Then I added a setCurrentTimeout int timeout  in the Request class and called it    This seems to do the job   Sorry for my laziness by the way and hooray for open source

Alternative solution if all above solutions are not working for you  By default  Volley set timeout equally for both setConnectionTimeout   and setReadTimeout   with the value from RetryPolicy  In my case  Volley throws timeout exception for large data chunk see    com android volley toolbox HurlStack openConnection       My solution is create a class which extends HttpStack with my own setReadTimeout   policy  Then use it when creates RequestQueue as follow   Volley newRequestQueue mContext getApplicationContext    new MyHurlStack

req setRetryPolicy new DefaultRetryPolicy      MY SOCKET TIMEOUT MS       DefaultRetryPolicy DEFAULT MAX RETRIES       DefaultRetryPolicy DEFAULT BACKOFF MULT      You can set MY SOCKET TIMEOUT MS as 100  Whatever you want to set this to is in milliseconds  DEFAULT MAX RETRIES can be 0 default is 1

Just to contribute with my approach  As already answered  RetryPolicy is the way to go  But if you need a policy different the than default for all your requests  you can set it in a base Request class  so you don t need to set the policy for all the instances of your requests   Something like this   public class BaseRequest lt T gt  extends Request lt T gt         public BaseRequest int method  String url  Response ErrorListener listener            super method  url  listener           setRetryPolicy getMyOwnDefaultRetryPolicy               In my case I have a GsonRequest which extends from this BaseRequest  so I don t run the risk of forgetting to set the policy for an specific request and you can still override it if some specific request requires to

To handle Android Volley Timeout you need to use RetryPolicy  RetryPolicy   Volley provides an easy way to implement your RetryPolicy for your requests  Volley sets default Socket  amp  ConnectionTImeout to 5 secs for all requests    RetryPolicy is an interface where you need to implement your logic of how you want to retry a particular request when a timeout happens   It deals with these three parameters   Timeout - Specifies Socket Timeout in millis per every retry attempt  Number Of Retries - Number of times retry is attempted  Back Off Multiplier - A multiplier which is used to determine exponential time set to socket for every retry attempt    For ex  If RetryPolicy is created with these values     Timeout - 3000 ms  Num of Retry Attempts - 2  Back Off Multiplier - 2 0   Retry Attempt 1     time   time    time   Back Off Multiplier   time   3000   6000   9000ms Socket Timeout   time  Request dispatched with Socket Timeout of 9 Secs   Retry Attempt 2     time   time    time   Back Off Multiplier   time   9000   18000   27000ms Socket Timeout   time  Request dispatched with Socket Timeout of 27 Secs   So at the end of Retry Attempt 2 if still Socket Timeout happens Volley would throw a TimeoutError in your UI Error response handler     Set a retry policy in case of SocketTimeout  amp  ConnectionTimeout Exceptions     Volley does retry for you if you have specified the policy  jsonObjRequest setRetryPolicy new DefaultRetryPolicy 5000                   DefaultRetryPolicy DEFAULT MAX RETRIES                   DefaultRetryPolicy DEFAULT BACKOFF MULT

See Request setRetryPolicy   and the constructor for DefaultRetryPolicy  e g   JsonObjectRequest myRequest   new JsonObjectRequest Method GET          url  null          new Response Listener lt JSONObject gt                    Override             public void onResponse JSONObject response                    Log d TAG  response toString                              new Response ErrorListener                   Override             public void onErrorResponse VolleyError error                    Log d TAG   Error      error getMessage                        myRequest setRetryPolicy new DefaultRetryPolicy          MY SOCKET TIMEOUT MS           DefaultRetryPolicy DEFAULT MAX RETRIES           DefaultRetryPolicy DEFAULT BACKOFF MULT
