How to cancel a request with OkHttp Android

Question

I read the thread OkHttpClient cannot cancel Call by tag but it's not working for me. I have a EditText with TextWatcher to get Places address using Google PlacesAutocomplete, so each char typed is a new request, but each char that I type i need to cancel the previous request so I don't receive the return of it, cu'z what matters is the final Address typed, I did this :

Update!

Address.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
            if(Address.getText().toString().length() > 3){
                _Address = Address.getText().toString();
                if(call != null){
                    call.cancel();
                }

                Request request = new Request.Builder()
                        .url(getPlaceAutoCompleteUrl(_Address))
                        .addHeader("content-type", "application/json")
                        .addHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; en-us; google_sdk Build/MR1) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30")
                        .build();
                Call call = new OkHttpClient().newCall(request);
                call.enqueue(new Callback() {
                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {

                    }
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
                        Log.d("Response",response.body().string());
                        PlacePredictions place = LoganSquare.parse(response.body().string(),PlacePredictions.class);
                        if(autoCompleteAdapter == null){
                            autoCompleteAdapter = new AutoCompleteAdapter(CustomPlaces.this);
                            recyclerView.setAdapter(autoCompleteAdapter);
                            autoCompleteAdapter.Add(place.getPlaces());
                        }else {
                            autoCompleteAdapter.Clear();
                            autoCompleteAdapter.Add(place.getPlaces());
                            autoCompleteAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                        }
                    }
                });
                //call.cancel();
            }

The Exception :

How's about trying another approach to your issue? You can make something like this with OkHttp without using asyncTask :

Call call = new OkHttpClient().newCall(your request);
    call.enqueue(new Callback() { // call off UI thread.
        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
            // this is where your call is cancelled: call.isCanceled()
        }

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

        }
    });
    call.cancel(); // this is the proper way to cancel an async call.

You should notice that the response body is a one-shot value that may be consumed only once and you should not call response.body().string() twice. Just make a local variable: responseString = response.body().string() and use it onlye.
