java.net.SocketTimeoutException in okhttp

IOExceptiojava.net.SocketTimeoutExceptionis occurring on following condition.

1. Server is slow and default timeout is less. so just put timeout value according to you.
2. Server is working fine but timeout value is for less time. so change the timeout value. like below code snippet.

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

client.setConnectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);client.setReadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);client.setWriteTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

If you are using okhttp3 then you must do it using the builder.

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

Only adding this won't solve your problem:

OkHttpClient.Builder()            .connectTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)            .readTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)            .writeTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)

If you are using Kotlin + Retrofit + Coroutines then just use try and catch for network operations like,

viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {        try {            val userListResponseModel = apiEndPointsInterface.usersList()            returnusersList(userListResponseModel)        } catch (e: Exception) {            e.printStackTrace()        }    }

Where, Exception is type of kotlin and not of java.lang

This will handle every exception like,

1. HttpException
2. SocketTimeoutException
3. FATAL EXCEPTION: DefaultDispatcher etc

Here is my usersList() function

@GET(AppConstants.APIEndPoints.HOME_CONTENT)suspend fun usersList(): UserListResponseModel
