There is a situation where if my API call fails due timeout, I have to retry by increasing the timeout by 20 seconds. All the examples of retrofit I searched show static timeout. Something like in following How to set timeout in Retrofit library?

or ask to put timeout in @Headers field. But this is not suitable in my case. onFailure(), I want to

  1. increase the timeout by 20 seconds for retry attempt and then
  2. reset to original timeout.

  • Using the link you provided, would it possible to recreate a new HTTP client with the new timeout value? Commented Jul 30, 2021 at 13:14

    Set the timeout in the OkHttpClient that you use to create your Retrofit instance. When you need to increase the timeout, use newBuilder() on the OkHttpClient and create a new OkHttpClient with all your old settings and the higher timeout. Then, create a new Retrofit instance from the new OkHttpClient, and use that for the higher-timeout call. When you are done with it, you can dispose of the new Retrofit and new OkHttpClient -- there will be nothing to "reset", because your original objects are untouched. Commented Jul 30, 2021 at 13:19
  • This is a nice idea. However, is there any example or link for reference? Commented Jul 30, 2021 at 13:25
