OkHttp how to listen for timeout?

Question

I've got this:

    final OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

    Request request = new Request.Builder()
            .url(someUrl)
            .build();

    Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

I have looked at https://github.com/square/okhttp/wiki/Recipes#timeouts

I tried adding:

    .connectTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .writeTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    .readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)

To the OkHttpClient builder, but I did not notice any difference even when I set the timeout number to 1 second.

Is there some way to listen for a timeout? What should I expect to happen if that timeout value is exceeded?

If the request times out, it’ll fail with an IOException. This will happen either when you call execute() or when you read the response body.

I also had this issue before. I solve the problem using the Asynchronous request's onFailure() callback. if Asynchronous suits you give it a try.
