Firestore timeout for android

Firestore will immediately add the document to its local cache. It will then try to synchronize that document with the server. To detect whether it will be able to do so, have a look at Gastón's answer.

To detect when the document has been written to the server, use a SuccessListener. This example from the Firestore documentation on adding documents shows how:

// Add a new document with a generated id.
Map<String, Object> data = new HashMap<>();
data.put("name", "Tokyo");
data.put("country", "Japan");

db.collection("cities")
        .add(data)
        .addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<DocumentReference>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(DocumentReference documentReference) {
                Log.d(TAG, "DocumentSnapshot written with ID: " + documentReference.getId());
            }
        })
        .addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                Log.w(TAG, "Error adding document", e);
            }
        });

The best way of doing this is attaching a boolean that will let you know if you have internet before doing something (this is just to dismiss your spinner, as firestore has offline features like realtime database)

public static boolean hasActiveInternetConnection(Context context) {
    if (isNetworkAvailable(context)) {
        try {
            HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL("http://www.google.com").openConnection());
            urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Test");
            urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
            urlc.setConnectTimeout(1500); 
            urlc.connect();
            return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 200);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error checking internet connection", e);
        }
    } else {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "No network available!");
    }
    return false;
}

so you should check first if you have an active connection , this method will ping google.com and check for internet connection, if is not reachable after 1.5 seconds it will return false

so you should do something like this (pseudocode)

if(hasActiveInternetConnection)
doyourfirebaseuploadstuff
else
spinner.dismiss()
Toast(please check your internet connection and try again)

Remember to add your internet permissions in your manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

EDIT:

Another cool method and maybe more readable for someones can be this one

public boolean isInternetWorking() {
    boolean success = false;
    try {
        URL url = new URL("https://google.com");
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setConnectTimeout(10000);
        connection.connect();
        success = connection.getResponseCode() == 200;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return success;
}

it just works like the other one , instead that this will just wait for 10 seconds untill it returns the internet status
