How to set Google Drive access timeout on Android

Let's list files from Google Drive:

GoogleAccountCredential credential = GoogleAccountCredential.usingOAuth2(
    context, DriveScopes.DRIVE);
Drive service = new Drive.Builder(AndroidHttp.newCompatibleTransport(), 
    new GsonFactory(), credential).build();
service.files().list().execute();

However, execute() takes almost forever to realize if for example there is no network connection available.

It turns out from the source of GoogleAccountCredential that it uses ExponentialBackOffPolicy, which has a 15 minutes maximum elapsed time limit by default.

Question 1: Is there a way to override this behavior and set the timeout limit to a lower value?

Question 2: service.files().list().execute() is running in an AsyncTask. What is the correct way to cancel it on user request, if she doesn't want to wait for that 15 mins timeout?

Thanks for the feedback!

Doesn't look like there is any way to customize the exponential backoff policy on GoogleAccountCredential. I filed a feature request here:

It doesn't look like there's a good way to cancel either. Feature request filed here:
