retrofit: Random throw java.io.InterruptedIOException when use OkHttpClient on Android

I have set up a RestAdpter with OKHttpClient:

RestAdapter.Builder builder = new RestAdapter.Builder()
                .setClient(new OkClient(okHttpClient))
//                .setClient(new AndroidApacheClient())
                .setConverter(converter)
                .setEndpoint(API_ENDPOINT);

When I tried to make some calls, sometimes Retrofit throw a java.io.InterruptedIOException:

I used Observable to subscribe for the result but no Error is thrown back to subscriber. And It doesn’t happen when I use AndroidApacheClient.

As I understand now, RxJava for some reason interrupts thread on unsubscription. So if you unsubscribe during request execution, errors like this can appear.

This is a write timeout which defaults to 15 seconds. I have no idea what Apache’s defaults to, but it’s probably higher, or infinite. You can call setWriteTimeout on the okHttpClient instance to set this to something larger.

I was also facing random java.io.InterruptedIOException: thread interrupted exceptions, caused by waitForIo or throwIfReached. At last, I found that I was not using subscribeOn to make sure the call happen on threads other than main. After adding subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()) the issue was gone.

@konmik what exactly was the RxJava hook you have used? I am now using RxJava2 bu I am receiving this error randomly on some of my user devices. Its really annoying to have your app crashes.

(It’s also not a Retrofit problem but an HTTP client configuration issue)
