Difference between new OkHttpClient() and new OkHttpClient.Builder()

[Debdeep Ganguly]

My question is two fold, so please co-operate.

First, I am new to these concepts so I am really confused between the above two.

Second, take a look at the part where I've already instantiated OkHttpClient and here I have to use the setConnectedTimeout and setReadTimeout methods. So what do I do next ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

         

             OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient(); // this is the OkHttp client I've already used, what to do next ?

            Request request = new Request.Builder()
                    .url(forecastUrl)
                    .build();

            Call call = client.newCall(request);
            call.enqueue(new Callback() {
                @Override
                public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
                    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            toggleRefresh();
                        }
                    });
                    alertUserAboutError(getString(R.string.error_title3)
                            ,getString(R.string.error_message3));
                }

                @Override
                public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
               }

As it says in the Javadoc for OkHttpClient:
"
Use new OkHttpClient() to create a shared instance with the default settings ...
Or use new OkHttpClient.Builder() to create a shared instance with custom settings ...
"

The Builder allows you to build up your own version of the client.

As for what you do next, what do you want to achieve?

Ohh thanks! Before going through the docs, I was implementing the the older version (without the custom Builder) due to which I was stuck. Thanks again btw.
