Question

With OkHttp library, application is facing following SocketTimeoutException issue. If request size is less, then it is working fine(Less than 1MB). I a

Answer 1

You need to understand that 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
