Change Volley timeout duration

See Request.setRetryPolicy() and the constructor for DefaultRetryPolicy, e.g.

JsonObjectRequest myRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Method.GET,        url, null,        new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {            @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));

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 & 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 & 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));

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<T> extends Request<T> {    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.
