How to set timeout with Okhttp3 and GlideV4?

Question

Am using glide v4 and okhttp3 integration with glide. I want to change it's timeout time. how to do that? by extending AppGlideModule or is there any other way? I have searched for proper documentation but not seen anywhere.

You can change the timeout by creating a class, which extends AppGlideModule and has annotation @GlideModule. Then you override the method registerComponents and inside it, you can create a new OkHttpClient, which you can use to control the Glide request timeout.

First, you should add Glide and OkHttp3 Glide Integration library gradle dependencies in the build.gradle file:

compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.2.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.2.0'
compile("com.github.bumptech.glide:okhttp3-integration:4.2.0") {
    exclude group: 'glide-parent'
}

Second, the sample code for the custom GlideAppModule class:

@GlideModule
public class MyGlideAppModule extends AppGlideModule {
    @Override
    public void registerComponents(Context context, Glide glide, Registry registry) {
        OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
                .connectTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .readTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .build();

        OkHttpUrlLoader.Factory factory = new OkHttpUrlLoader.Factory(client);
        glide.getRegistry().replace(GlideUrl.class, InputStream.class, factory);
    }
}
