Firebase Android Cloud Functions Change Timeout

Question

I'm using Firebase Cloud Functions library on Android and using getHttpsCallable to call a cloud function.

The problem is that the function needs 15-20 seconds to return the result back to the client, so the client throws an exception java.net.SocketTimeoutException: timeout.

Is there any way to change the timeout?

Answer 1

The most recent version of the SDK adds setTimeout and withTimeout methods that let you configure a custom timeout.

See the docs here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/functions/HttpsCallableReference
