            client.setReadTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);    // socket timeout
            Request request = new Request.Builder()
                    .url(urlString)

you can get the InputStream through byteStream()

E.g. 

 InputStream is = response.body().byteStream();

to return it you have to change the method's signature. From String to InputStream
