With OkHttp
library, application is facing following SocketTimeoutException
issue. If request size is less, then it is working fine(Less than 1MB). I am getting this exception within 10 seconds, even my socket timeout(readTimeout
) value is much higher. It is consistently failing for a request(Size is 1.8MB). When I executed a request with HttpUrlConnection
it is working fine. What could be a possible reason of failure?

For OkHttp 3 the default value for OkHttp is 10 seconds. You can increase the timeout to 30 seconds.
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
client.setConnectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); // connect timeout
client.setReadTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); // socket timeout

I solved that problem increasing writeTimeout()
.
Try:
OkHttpClient.Builder builder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
builder.connectTimeout(5, TimeUnit.MINUTES) // connect timeout
.writeTimeout(5, TimeUnit.MINUTES) // write timeout
.readTimeout(5, TimeUnit.MINUTES); // read timeout
okHttpClient = builder.build();

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,
- HttpException
- SocketTimeoutException
- FATAL EXCEPTION: DefaultDispatcher etc
Here is my usersList()
function
@GET(AppConstants.APIEndPoints.HOME_CONTENT)
suspend fun usersList(): UserListResponseModel

If you are using Retrofit and Kotlin then use following code:
var BASE_URL:String="Your URL"
val clientSetup = OkHttpClient.Builder()
.connectTimeout(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.writeTimeout(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES) // write timeout
.readTimeout(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES) // read timeout
.build()
val getClientApi: ApiInterface
get() {
var retrofit: Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(ScalarsConverterFactory.create())
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())

In my case adding ping interval to OkHttp helps a lot in reducing number of SocketTimeoutExceptions in the app.
OkHttpClient.Builder()
.pingInterval(3, SECONDS)
.build()
but i am not sure if these timeouts were related to request size.
I mentioned it also in this issue on github reported to OkHttp library

In this example we are going to talk about java.net.SocketTimeoutException
. This exception is a subclass of java.io.IOException
, so it is a checked exception.
From the javadoc we read that this exception :” Signals that a timeout has occurred on a socket read or accept”. That means that this exception emerges when a blocking operation of the two, an accept or a read, is blocked for a certain amount of time, called the timeout. Let’s say that the socket is configured with a timeout of 5 seconds.
If either the accept()
or read()
method, blocks for more than 5 seconds, a SocketTimeoutException
is thrown, designating that a timeout has occurred. It is important to note that after this exception is thrown. the socket remains valid, so you can retry the blocking call or do whatever you want with the valid socket.
1. A simple Cilent-Server application
To demonstrate this exception, I’m going to use the client-server application we’ve seen in java.net.ConnectException – How to solve Connect Exception. It creates two threads. The first one, SimpleServer
, opens a socket on the local machine on port 3333
. Then it waits for a connection to come in. When it finally receives a connection, it creates an input stream out of it, and simply reads one line of text from the client that was connected. The second thread, SimpleClient
, attempts to connect to the server socket that SimpleServer
opened. When it does so, it sends a line of text and that’s it.
SocketTimeoutExceptionExample.java:
package com.javacodegeeks.core.net.unknownhostexception; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.net.ServerSocket; import java.net.Socket; import java.net.SocketTimeoutException; import java.net.UnknownHostException; public class SocketTimeoutExceptionExample { public static void main(String[] args) { new Thread(new SimpleServer()).start(); new Thread(new SimpleClient()).start(); } static class SimpleServer implements Runnable { @Override public void run() { ServerSocket serverSocket = null; try { serverSocket = new ServerSocket(3333); serverSocket.setSoTimeout(7000); while (true) { Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.accept(); BufferedReader inputReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream())); System.out.println("Client said :" + inputReader.readLine()); } } catch (SocketTimeoutException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { if (serverSocket != null) serverSocket.close(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } } } static class SimpleClient implements Runnable { @Override public void run() { Socket socket = null; try { Thread.sleep(3000); socket = new Socket("localhost", 3333); PrintWriter outWriter = new PrintWriter( socket.getOutputStream(), true); outWriter.println("Hello Mr. Server!"); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (UnknownHostException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { if (socket != null) socket.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } }
As you can see, because I’m launching the two threads simultaneously, I’ve put a 3 second delay in SimpleClient
for the client to wait before attempting to connect to the server socket, so as to give some time to server thread to open the server socket. Additionally, you will notice that in SimpleServer
I’ve specified the timeout to be of 7 seconds using this method : serverSocket.setSoTimeout(7000);
.
So, what we expect to happen here, is the communication to finish normally because the client will connect to the server after 3 seconds. That’s 4 seconds before the timeout barrier is reached. If you run the program, you will see this output
:
Client said :Hello Mr. Server!
That means that the client, successfully connected to the server and achieved to transmit its text. Now if you wait a bit more, you will see that a
1. An example of SocketTimeoutException
Now, if you keep the above program running, after the Client said :Hello Mr. Server!
message is transmitted successfully, you will notice that a SocketTimeoutException
is thrown:
Client said :Hello Mr. Server! java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Accept timed out at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.waitForNewConnection(Native Method) at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(DualStackPlainSocketImpl.java:135) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.accept(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:398) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:198) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:530) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:498) at com.javacodegeeks.core.net.unknownhostexception.SocketTimeoutExceptionExample$SimpleServer.run(SocketTimeoutExceptionExample.java:35) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744)
That’s because, after the SimpleServer
serves the first client, it loops back to the accept()
method to serve the next client in line, but no one is connected. So, when the time out is reached, SocketTimeoutException
is thrown.
Of course, you can choose to handle this exception differently. For example , you can choose to loop back to the accept method, even if the exception is thrown, because the socket remains valid.
In the next example, I will launch two client threads with a certain delay between them, so that one of them sends its message before any exception occurs. The other client thread sends its message after an exception is thrown. Let’s see how you can do that, and pay attention to the server thread:
SocketTimeoutExceptionExample.java:
package com.javacodegeeks.core.net.unknownhostexception; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.net.ServerSocket; import java.net.Socket; import java.net.SocketTimeoutException; import java.net.UnknownHostException; public class SocketTimeoutExceptionExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { new Thread(new SimpleServer()).start(); new Thread(new SimpleClient()).start(); Thread.sleep(20000); new Thread(new SimpleClient()).start(); } static class SimpleServer implements Runnable { @Override public void run() { ServerSocket serverSocket = null; try { serverSocket = new ServerSocket(3333); serverSocket.setSoTimeout(7000); while (true) { try { Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.accept(); BufferedReader inputReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream())); System.out.println("Client said :"+ inputReader.readLine()); } catch (SocketTimeoutException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } catch (IOException e1) { e1.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { if (serverSocket != null) { serverSocket.close(); } } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } static class SimpleClient implements Runnable { @Override public void run() { Socket socket = null; try { Thread.sleep(3000); socket = new Socket("localhost", 3333); PrintWriter outWriter = new PrintWriter( socket.getOutputStream(), true); outWriter.println("Hello Mr. Server!"); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (UnknownHostException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { if (socket != null) socket.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } }
Now if you run the program for a while you will notice that every seven seconds a SocketTimeoutException
is thrown :
Client said :Hello Mr. Server! java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Accept timed out at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.waitForNewConnection(Native Method) at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(DualStackPlainSocketImpl.java:135) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.accept(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:398) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:198) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:530) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:498) at com.javacodegeeks.core.net.unknownhostexception.SocketTimeoutExceptionExample$SimpleServer.run(SocketTimeoutExceptionExample.java:38) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Accept timed out at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.waitForNewConnection(Native Method) at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(DualStackPlainSocketImpl.java:135) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.accept(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:398) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:198) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:530) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:498) at com.javacodegeeks.core.net.unknownhostexception.SocketTimeoutExceptionExample$SimpleServer.run(SocketTimeoutExceptionExample.java:38) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) Client said :Hello Mr. Server! java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Accept timed out at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.waitForNewConnection(Native Method) at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(DualStackPlainSocketImpl.java:135) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.accept(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:398) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:198) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:530) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:498) at com.javacodegeeks.core.net.unknownhostexception.SocketTimeoutExceptionExample$SimpleServer.run(SocketTimeoutExceptionExample.java:38) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) ... ... ...
So as you can see even after the exception is thrown, the socket remains active and receives a message form the second client thread. The above program will keep throwing a SocketTimeoutException
every seven seconds.
In the above example we’ve shown what causes a SocketTimeoutException
in the case of the accept()
. The same principles will apply in the case of read()
. Now, what can you do to avoid that exception. If the server side application is under your control, you should try yo adjust the timeout barrier so that its more flexible on network delays. You should surely consider doing that especially when your server application will run in a remote machine. Other than that, you can check whatever causes delays in your network, a malfunctioning router etc.

in Java - Solution to
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Connection timed out
in Java
In today’s article, we will discuss java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Connection timed out
. But first, let’s take a closer look at the concepts of sockets and timeouts.
Sockets in Java
A logical link between two computer applications might have multiple endpoints, one of which is a socket.
To put it another way, it is a logical interface that applications use to transmit and receive data over a network. An IP address and a port number comprise a socket in its most basic form.
A unique port number is allotted to each socket, which is utilized to identify the service. Connection-based services use stream sockets that are based on TCP.
Because of this, Java offers the java.net.Socket
class as a client-side programming option.
On the other hand, the java.net.ServerSocket
class is utilized in server-side TCP/IP programming. The datagram socket based on UDP is another kind of socket, and it’s the one that’s employed for connectionless services.
Java supports java.net.DatagramSocket
for UDP operations.
Timeouts in Java
An instance of a socket
object is created when the socket
constructor is called, allowing a connection between the client and the server from the client side.
As input, the constructor expects to receive the address of the remote host and the port number. After that, it tries to use the parameters provided to establish a connection to the remote host.
The operation will prevent other processes from proceeding until a successful connection is created. But, the application will throw the following error if the connection is not successful after a specified time.
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Connection timed out
Listening to incoming connection requests, the ServerSocket
class on the server side is permanently active. When a connection request is received by ServerSocket
, the accept
function is invoked to create a new socket
object.
Similar to the previous method, this one blocks until the remote client is connected.
Causes of java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Connection timed out
in Java
The following are some possible reasons for the error.
- The server is operating fine. However, the
timeout
value is set for a shorter time. Therefore, increase the value of thetimeout
. - On the remote host, the specified port is not being listened to by any services.
- There is no route to the remote host being sent.
- The remote host does not appear to be allowing any connections.
- There is a problem reaching the remote host.
- Internet connection that is either slow or unavailable.
Solution to java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Connection timed out
in Java
We can pre-set the timeout
option for client and server activities. Adding the try
and catch
constructs would be an appropriate solution.
-
On the client side, the first thing we’ll do is construct a null
socket
. Following that, we will use theconnect()
method and then configure thetimeout
parameter where the timeout should be larger than 0 milliseconds.If the timeout expires before the function returns,
SocketTimeoutException
is thrown.Socket s = new Socket(); SocketAddress sAdres = new InetSocketAddress(host, port); s.connect(sAdres, 50000);
-
If you want to set a
timeout
value from the server side, you can use thesetSoTimeout()
function. The value of thetimeout
parameter determines the length of time that theServerSocket.accept()
function will block.ServerSocket servers = new new ServerSocket(port); servers.setSoTimeout(10000);
Similarly, the
timeout
should be more than 0 milliseconds. If thetimeout
expires before the method returns, the method will generate aSocketTimeoutException
. -
Determining a connection timeout and then handling it afterward using a
try-catch
block is yet another excellent technique to deal withHttpException
.HttpUrlConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setConnectTimeout(8000);

Java Net Sockettimeoutexception Read Timed Out: Causes for the Error
The Java net sockettimeoutexception read timed out error can cause by the network issue, the server might not respond, or the firewall is blocking the connection. There could be multiple reasons for connection failure, like a dense network, any issue with the ISP, a weak router, or a weak firewall.
– Network Issue
The network connection between the client and the server may cause the java net sockettimeoutexception read timed out error. A slow internet connection or a severe issue with the connection itself may be to blame.
To send data between the client and the server within a predetermined time, your internet connection must be quick; otherwise, the connection will be lost. If you go deeper, you’ll discover several causes for the connection failure, including a crowded network, a slow router, a poorly set firewall, or an issue with the ISP.
– Server Not Responding
The java net sockettimeoutexception read timed out error can also occur if the server does not respond to the client’s request in that specific period. The possible reason for your server’s failure to respond timely could be the server is overwhelmed with requests.
If your server receives more requests than its handling capability, processing each request and sending a response will take longer. Or if the client requests a server that involves querying an extensive database or performing a complex calculation, it could take a long time to process.
There could also be a problem with the server itself due to a hardware or software issue, such as a faulty component or a bug in the server software. If this is the case, the server can’t process the request properly, and as a result, you will see the error.
– Firewall Blocking the Connection
A firewall is a security system that controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. If a firewall on either the client or the server side is blocking the connection, it can cause the java net sockettimeoutexception read timed out error to occur.
The firewall might block outgoing connections to the server or incoming connections from the client. This can happen if the firewall has been configured to block connections to specific IP addresses or ports or if the client is behind a corporate firewall with strict rules.
The java net sockettimeoutexception read timed-out error can be solved by checking the network connection, pinging the server, increasing the timeout value, modifying firewall configuration, and optimizing the client’s request. Some solutions are not always helpful as they might affect the overall performance.
– Check Network Connection
If you are facing this issue because of a network issue, the first step to resolving it is to check the network connection and try to resolve any problems. You can perform a basic connectivity test to check the network connection, like pinging the server from the client. This is how you can determine if the client can reach the server or if there are any issues with the connection between the two.
If the connectivity test is successful, the next step should be to identify the problem and troubleshoot it with the network connection. You might check for issues with the router or modem, reset the network hardware, or contact the ISP if there are any issues with the internet connection.
But if the connectivity test goes unsuccessful, there could be any problem with network hardware or software, like a faulty router or misconfigured firewall. If this is the case, you will need to troubleshoot that specific problem and try to fix that problem.
– Increase Timeout Value
If you are facing this issue because of a slow connection or server, try increasing the timeout value in the client application. The timeout value is a setting in the client application to determine how long the client should wait for a response from the server before timing out.
The timeout value is mainly set to a certain number of seconds, and if the client does not receive a response from the server within that period, there is a high chance of facing the error. So when you increase the timeout, you are giving the client more time to wait for a response, or you can say that you are allowing the response that is coming late.
You must change the client application’s code to adjust the timeout value. But before you do, you should know that increasing the timeout number can affect how well the client application performs because the client will take longer to time out if it doesn’t get a response from the server.
Therefore, it’s crucial to balance the necessity for a longer timeout and its effect on the client application’s performance.
– Check Firewall Configuration
Suppose you are facing this error due to a firewall blocking the connection. In that case, the go-to solution is checking the firewall’s configuration and ensuring it is not blocking the connection. You need to access the firewall’s configuration settings and review the rules to do this. These rules determine which incoming and outgoing connections are allowed or blocked by the firewall.
If the firewall is blocking the connection between the client and the server, you will need to change the configuration to allow the connection. This could involve adding an exception rule that allows traffic to and from the client and the server or modifying an existing rule to allow the connection.
Before modifying the firewall’s configuration, you should understand that it can have security implications because it will affect firewall-provided protection. You should also carefully review the firewall rules and ensure that any changes align with the organization’s security policies.
– Optimize Client Requests
If you are facing this error because of a client’s request taking too long to process, one possible solution is to optimize the request to reduce the processing time as a possible solution. You can opt for several ways to optimize the client’s request to reduce the processing time.
One option is to reduce the amount of requested data. If the client is making a request that involves retrieving a large amount of data from the server, It will take a lot of time for the server to process the request and send a response. Doing that means you are reducing the processing time, which eventually can be a solution in your case.
Another option is to optimize the way it is formulated. This could involve more efficient queries or targeted requests that only retrieve the needed data. Optimizing the way the request is formulated can reduce the processing time and fix the error.
