Answer 1

I found this help, I'm testing It, when I finish, I will come here to write if It works

update

Well I tested It with an infinite cycle

like this

//global var 
Boolean running = true;
Thread MyThread = new Thread(){//create thread
    @Override
    public void run() {
    RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(MyActivity.this);// start one time no more...
    String url = "http://192.168.1.78/testget.php?key=123456789"; // my URL

    // Request a string response from the provided URL.
    StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
            new Response.Listener() {//where request return ...
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    System.out.println("Volley response: \"" + response +"\"");
                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
            System.out.println("There is an error: "+error.getMessage()); // on error, ex: URL bad... internet down, etc..
        }
    });
    stringRequest.setShouldCache(false);// no caching url...
    stringRequest.setRetryPolicy(
            new DefaultRetryPolicy(
                    20000,//time to wait for it in this case 20s
                    20,//tries in case of error
                    DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT
            )
    );

        
        int i=0;
        while(running){
            
            System.out.println("counter: "+i);
            i++;
            
            try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                //e.printStackTrace();
                System.out.println("Sleep interrupted");
            }
            
            // Add the request to the RequestQueue.
            queue.add(stringRequest);
        }
        System.out.println("onEnd Thread");
    }
};
MyThread.start(); // start thread

//in some button declare 
running=false;

I tested it 130144 times ~ 18.07 hr, without any error

System.out: Counter: 130141
System.out: Volley response: "something"
System.out: Counter: 130142
System.out: Volley response: "something"
System.out: Counter: 130143
System.out: Volley response: "something"
System.out: Counter: 130144

Getting Error with call newRequestQueue more than one time

Test with RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(MyActivity.this); calling more than one time

Example:

//global var 
Boolean running = true;

Thread MyThread = new Thread(){//create thread

    void getSomethingFromSite(){
        
        RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(MyActivity.this);//calling request more than one time... error you not call more than one time
        String url = "http://192.168.1.78/testget.php?key=123456789"; // my url

        // Request a string response from the provided URL.
        StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
            new Response.Listener() {//where request return ...
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    System.out.println("Volley response: \"" + response +"\"");
                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                    System.out.println("There is an error: "+error.getMessage()); // on error, ex: URL bad... internet down, etc..
            }
        });
        stringRequest.setShouldCache(false);// no caching url...
        stringRequest.setRetryPolicy(
                new DefaultRetryPolicy(
                        20000,//time to wait for it in this case 20s
                        20,//tries in case of error
                        DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT
                )
        );
        // Add the request to the RequestQueue.
        queue.add(stringRequest);
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
            
        int i=0;
        while(running){
            
            System.out.println("counter: "+i);
            i++;
            
            try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                //e.printStackTrace();
                System.out.println("Sleep interrupted");
            }
            //call volley 
            getSomethingFromSite();
        }
        System.out.println("onEnd Thread");
    }
};
MyThread.start(); // start thread

//in some button declare 
running false;

Erro with 475 times

Conclusion

You do not call newRequestQueue more than one time... you will get error of out memory or OOM error.

More links for reference or information:
1.- Out of memory error when use volley library
2.- Volley give me Out of memory exception after I make a lot of request with big amount of data
3.- Volley slow and causing memory leak
4.- Volley framewok request keeps objects in memory
