Volley can't handle "big" json

[ben-j69]

If you do this request with volley https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?sensor=true&origin=48.8256676,2.383315000000001&destination=50.6293797,3.0570117&alternatives=true

WIth a StringRequest or JsonRequest, a timeout occurs.

I'm facing this issue too, timeout counter should stop when the response is received from server/cache.

actually volley is not meant to be used for large data, and it will perform horribly (or not work properly) when trying.. You are better off using something else when loading huge content.

I agree with @davidjorgensen ,Volley is meant many small requests.

@ben-j69 volley store whole http response contents as byte[] in memory and then convert to String or Json or other type, so it can not handle huge response, you should use okhttp instead.

// in BasicNetwork line 129
responseContents = entityToBytes(httpResponse.getEntity());
