I tried setting my asynchttpclient's timeout in my singleton class but it seems that it doesn't change. I got the 10000 which I think is the default value.
client.setMaxRetriesAndTimeout(0,5000);
Log.i("loopj", ""+ client.getTimeout());
EDIT:
client.setTimeout(5000);
this method is working but for the information, how come setMaxRetriesAndTimeout doesn't?
