IssueTracker

Good news! Wear Compose has been updated to ab/13046075 in https://critique.corp.google.com/cl/732905175 and this bug has been affected.

I spoke too soon. Event with ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT, I still have TimeoutException. I should have run more build before announcing my success. Now even with ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT I still have TimeoutException from time to time.

So I dig around the issue a little bit. First, with the line number of the stacktrace I was able to confirm that the version of ddmlib that I use is this one:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/bc733f18ec99fe5e14804ec062edc98039d67685/ddmlib/src/main/java/com/android/ddmlib/Device.java

While looking at the code, I found out that the ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT is NOT used when syncing the package to the device. So that explains why I had a timeout exception before 4 minutes (the value of ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT).

Then I followed the code and found that the timeout value used is the one stored in DdmPreferences.

So in my gradle file, I have added "com.android.ddmlib.DdmPreferences.setTimeOut(30000)". Success! I have run over 25 builds without getting the exception once!

Just to confirm my finding, I have check the maven code and their version of the timeout setting does exactly the same thing:
https://github.com/SierraGolf/maven-android-plugin/commit/fa06e72f6d24fad20a50ad4367a881678cee1ec6

----
TL;DR Feature Request:a dd an adbInstalltimeout setting in gradle that set the value in DdmPreferences.setTimeOut()

Ah, good catch. I'll update ddmlib to possibly set ddm preferences based on that so that you don't have to do it in code. For the Gradle stuff, could you create a separate bug ("ability to change adb install timeout from gradle script")?

+jedo recently added options that you can set in the build.gradle to control timeouts.

https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/128145/

yes this is fixed and released in 1.1.0

    adbOptions {
          timeOutInMs 5000 // 5 seconds in ms.
    }

just tested it with gradle 1.1.0 and the adbOptions are not included. I guess it's for the 1.2.0 release because the change was merged into branc `studio-1.2-dev`.

I'm currently using `com.android.ddmlib.DdmPreferences.setTimeOut(30000)` and it works perfectly as a workaround until 1.2.0 is out.

ah correct, I somehow was convinced it was in 1.1.0 branch. sorry for the confusion.

This problem is not solved because adding adbOptions's timeOutInMs does not call DdmPreferences.setTimeOut.

DdmPreferences.setTimeOut is the global adb read/write packet timeout setting.
In 'at com.android.ddmlib.SyncService.doPushFile(SyncService.java:671)', DdmPreferences.getTimeOut() is called and used to set timeout.

Can confirm adboptions doesn't fix this, com.android.ddmlib.DdmPreferences.setTimeOut(120000)  fixes the issue for CircleCI at least.

Here is what we have in build.gradle:

android{
...
   adbOptions {
        timeOutInMs 5 * 60 * 1000 // 5 minutes
    }
}

At the same time, I see on jenkins:

It is happening on linux build machine with android gradle plugin version 1.3.0

same problem on gradle 2.3:

build.gradle config:

adbOptions {
   timeOutInMs 5 * 60 * 1000 // 5 minutes
}

output for ./gradlew installProdDebug
...
:app:installProdDebug
Installing APK 'app-prod-debug.apk' on 'radxa_rock_pro - 4.4.2'
06:03:24 E/Device: Error during Sync: timeout.

with adb works fine (adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555 && adb install xxx.apk)
