How to set connection timeout with OkHttp

by

As of OkHttp3 you can do this through the Builder like so

client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
    .connectTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .writeTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .build();

You can also view the recipe here.

For older versions, you simply have to do this

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
client.setConnectTimeout(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS); // connect timeout
client.setReadTimeout(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    // socket timeout

Request request = new Request.Builder().url(url).build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

Be aware that value set in setReadTimeout is the one used in setSoTimeout on the Socket internally in the OkHttp Connection class.

Not setting any timeout on the OkHttpClient is the equivalent of setting a value of 0 on setConnectTimeout or setReadTimeout and will result in no timeout at all. Description can be found here.

As mentioned by @marceloquinta in the comments setWriteTimeout can also be set.

As of version 2.5.0 read / write / connect timeout values are set to 10 seconds by default as mentioned by @ChristerNordvik. This can be seen here.
