How to increase timeout for retrofit requests in robospice android?

Question

I have implemented robospice in my project and using retrofit for all api calls. For some of requests, I need to increase timeout, please let me know how can I do that?

Answer 1

I stumbled in here with a similar question and eventually found the answer elsewhere. Had there been a more complete example here, I would have saved some time so I circled back to post what worked for me just in case it helps others:

Adapter with increased read timeout

    // create client
    OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient();
    okHttpClient.setReadTimeout(60 * 1000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

    // create rest adapter using the client above
    RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
            .setEndpoint(getBaseApiUrl())
            .setClient(new OkClient(okHttpClient))
            // this gson converter below is optional. We use it for parsing dates and enums
            .setConverter(new GsonConverter(createApiGson()))
            .setLogLevel(getRetrofitLogLevel())
            .build();

NOTE: for us, getBaseApiUrl() returns something like: https://some.company.com/api/
and getRetrofitLogLevel() returns either RestAdapter.LogLevel.FULL or RestAdapter.LogLevel.NONE depending on which flavor of the app is built.

Lastly, these are the main dependencies that make everything work:
