Error Handling in Glide

[yelinaung]

It may relate to #84 but I am looking for a workaround for the SocketTimeOutException like below

skia  D  ---- read threw an exception
D  --- decoder->decode returned false

Is there anywork around for it ?

Yes this is a duplicate of #84. To be clear nothing you do is going to solve the underlying problem. If your socket times out, particularly if it does so repeatedly, no networking library will be able to retrieve the data you need.

That being said we can definitely handle this failure case more gracefully in the default HttpUrlConnection based url fetcher. For now at least using Volley will make sure you receive the error and can handle it appropriately because Volley reads all of the data out of the InputStream before returning it to us. I'd guess OkHttp will also let us handle the failure case, but I haven't tested it.
