[Alberto Michelis]

How to set the timeout when using OkHttpUtils2 lib?
I serach the forum and try

Dim HttpJob1 As HttpJob
HttpJob1.download(URL)
HttpJob1.GetRequest..... but theres no timeout

Thanks

If i remember correctly you need to add okhttp lib TOO for this

 

[Alberto Michelis]

Its added.

 

[DonManfred]

if i add okhttputils2 AND okhttp it works for me.

    Dim httpPayment As HttpJob
    httpPayment.Initialize("httpPayment", Me)
    httpPayment.Download2("https://abc.com/xyz.asp","")
    httpPayment.GetRequest.Timeout = 60000

 

[Alberto Michelis]

No way, using download or download2 theres no getrequest.timeout, see image

 

[KMatle]

Which versions do you have?

 

[Alberto Michelis]

OK, thanks, I did it and set the timeout to:
httpPayment.GetRequest.Timeout = 5000 (5 secs)
but when reading it is still in 30 secs
Any idea?

 

[KMatle]

Never read it after. But it works. Use a local address like 192.168.1.x (e.g. your pc) and try.

 

[DonManfred]

Any idea?

Make sure to set the Timeout AFTER the call to Download, Download2, Poststring, Whatever.... See Post #4

 

[KMatle]

Make sure to set the Timeout AFTER

Right. I use it that way but did not think of it

 

[Alberto Michelis]

I use it that way but the timeout does not change.

 

[KMatle]

but the timeout does not change

How do you measure it?

My call which works:

Dim GetItemsJob As HttpJob
    GetItemsJob.Initialize("GetItems", Me)
    GetItemsJob.PostString(ServerAddress & "/xxxx/xxxxx.php", JSONstring)
    GetItemsJob.GetRequest.Timeout=3000 '3 secs

Im running into somewhat of the same problem.
It somehow goes back to the 30 second default.

I can easely test it.

I unplug the internet connection from my router.
I activate the service. It works
I keep trying and after a while it is again timing out in 30 seconds.

Plug it back in
And it goes back to the timeout I set.

Any ideas?

(I am running httpjob in a service that checks for an intent to fire some homeautomation stuff.)

There are 2 scenarious:

1. The ip address is not available (= server does not respond)
2. The internet connection is not avilable (= unplug the router)

I assume only the timeout for the request ittself (#1) can be changed, not for the internet connection (maybe android waits 30 secs for the connection to be available)
