Develop Reference

Downloading an image from Cloud Firestore directly into an imageView using FirebaseUI

I'm completely new to Firebase and i just went through the setup and the documentation regarding the real-time database and the cloud firestore. I'm trying to test the part of the docs where you can Download Images with FirebaseUI directly into an ImageView (reference). This is their code:
// Reference to an image file in Cloud Storage
StorageReference storageReference = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference();
// ImageView in your Activity
ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
// Download directly from StorageReference using Glide
// (See MyAppGlideModule for Loader registration)
GlideApp.with(this /* context */)
.load(storageReference)
.into(imageView);FirebaseUIActivity.java
And this is my code:
FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
StorageReference iconRef = storage.getReferenceFromUrl("https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/rest_of_the_link");
// ImageView in your Activity
ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.iconImageView);
// Download directly from StorageReference using Glide
// (See MyAppGlideModule for Loader registration)
Glide.with(this /* context */)
.load(iconRef)
.into(imageView);
}
I have a .webp image in firestore and i made a reference to it using StorageReference iconRef and then tried loading that into the ImageView. Sadly, that didn't work. What am i missing here? Also, was the GlideApp part replaced with Glide because i can't find it?

Try creating a file called GlideApp (or whatever you want) as :
#GlideModule
class GlideApp extends AppGlideModule {
}
and then using GlideApp.with(this /* context */)
.load(iconRef)
.into(imageView);

Vimeo Video Thumbnail in an ImageView

I am developing an Android app which should display a list of video thumbnails in RecyclerView. A new activity will then play the video for selected thumbnail.
How do I set com.vimeo.networking.model.Picture to Android ImageView?
My code:
mVimeoClient.fetchNetworkContent(VIDEO_URI, new ModelCallback<VideoList>(VideoList.class) {
#Override
public void success(VideoList videoList) {
ArrayList<Video> videoArrayList = videoList.data;
Video video = videoArrayList.get(0);
ArrayList<com.vimeo.networking.model.Picture> arrayListPics = video.pictures.sizes;
// imageView.setImageDrawable((Drawable) pictureAL.get(0));
imageView.setImageBitmap( (Bitmap) arrayListPics.get(0));
}
#Override
public void failure(VimeoError error) {
}
});
}
The setImageBitmap() And setImageDrawable() throws
java.lang.ClassCastException

The Picture object (the one returned from arrayListPics.get(0)) in the vimeo-networking library isn't a Bitmap and therefore can't be cast to one. The Picture object has a field on it called mLink which can be access via Picture#getLink(). This will return a URI string which you then can set on your ImageView.
The simplest code you could use to get this working is:
// The ImageView you want to put the thumbnail in
ImageView yourImageView = <insert your ImageView here>;
// The video whose thumbnail you want
Video yourVideo = <insert your Video here>;
// The collection of `Picture` objects associated with this video.
// Each `Picture` in this "collection" is a different size
PictureCollection yourVideosPictures = yourVideo.getPictures();
// Get the first thumbnail/picture from this collection (not recommended)
Picture videoThumbnailPicture = yourVideosPictures.getPictures().get(0);
// The URI to the image of the thumbnail
String videoThumbnailUri = videoThumbnailPicture.getLink();
// Convert the String URI to an actual URI object
final Uri uri = Uri.parse(videoThumbnailUri);
yourImageView.setImageURI(uri);
I say this is the simplest because there are more things you should do when setting an image uri. One thing is you should base the Picture your grab from yourVideosPictures based on the width of your ImageView so that you're not needlessly pulling down a larger image than you need.
You should also probably not just set the image URI directly onto yourImageView, but instead you should use some image caching library (or some caching implementation).
I'd suggest looking into Picasso, Glide, or Fresco. Or just google "Image caching on Android".

Here's a solution using Glide 4.x.
First of all, import the lib on your project:
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.6.1'
Since the Pictures class contains an Uri as the others stated, you can use Glide to download the image for you effortlessly as follows.
// Get your ImageView
ImageView iv = findViewById(R.id.your_image_view);
// Get your thumbnails
ArrayList<com.vimeo.networking.model.Picture> arrayListPics = video.pictures.sizes;
// Load them using Glide
Glide.with(this) // Assuming "this" is your Activity, but you can also use any context here
.load(arrayListPics.get(0).getLink())
.into(iv);
That way it won't matter where is the thumbnail located (Network, file, resources), Glide will load it for you.
You can also apply some transformations or use placeholders by using Glide's RequestOptions class. Read more on how to use it here.

Please user Picasso library to load image in Image-view.
In gradle
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
in your adapter class
mVimeoClient.fetchNetworkContent(VIDEO_URI, new ModelCallback<VideoList>(VideoList.class) {
#Override
public void success(VideoList videoList) {
ArrayList<Video> videoArrayList = videoList.data;
Video video = videoArrayList.get(0);
ArrayList<Pictures> arrayListPics = video.pictures.sizes;
Picasso.get().load(arrayListPics.get(0).getpath).into(view);
}
#Override
public void failure(VimeoError error) {
}
});
}

How to load image in recyclerview cardview from firebase storage using glide, firebaseUI?

I'm using firebase database(firebaseUI) for loading text in cardviews recyclerView, but my images are stored in firebase storage. How can I populate my cardviews with a different image for each cardview using Glide?
-Should I only use FirebaseUI database in my code(with Glide) with 'image' as key and the Firebase storage url as value, ie { image:FirebaseStorageURLOfOneImage }? While manually uploading image to firebase storage.
-Or is there a way to use both FirebaseUI database & storage in my code(with Glide), and still load one different image per cardview?

I only use FirebaseUI database in my code(with Glide) with 'image' as key and the Firebase storage url as value, ie { image:FirebaseStorageURLOfOneImage }
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull PropertyViewHolder holder,
final int position, #NonNull final Property model) {
holder.setPropertyImage(model.getPropertyImage());
}
//...code skipped...
public void setPropertyImage(String propertyImage){
ImageView imageView = mView.findViewById(R.id.post_propertyImage);
// Download directly from StorageReference using Glide
// (See MyAppGlideModule for Loader registration)
GlideApp.with(getContext())
.load(propertyImage)
.fitCenter()
.into(imageView);
}

How can I take singleRequest model by Glide?

I can load image path to imageView using Glide in this code:
GlideApp.with(context)
.load(imagePath)
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL)
.transition(withCrossFade())
.into(imageView);
I do not want to load previously registered same path or bitmap from imageView.
==============UPDATE=================
I find this solution (thanks ADM):
Glide automatically performs setTag() function and when I call imageView.getTag() function, result is deriving SingleRequest which has loaded data (imagePath or bitmap).
But I can't access singleRequest model field, it is a private. How can I take singleRequest model field? Please help me.

As discussed you should tag e url with view.setTag().
Here setTag(Object object) takes object as argument . Whenever we call getTag() we need to cast it. below is the example.
view.setTag("htttp://www.imgur.3877383.jpg");
String url =(String)view.getTag();
if(url!=null){
// Use the url
}
Cause Argument is an Object so you can also add class object as tag.
view.setTag(myPozo);
MyPozo myPozo =(MyPozo)view.getTag();
if(myPozo!=null){
// Use the pozo
}
Also i am not aware with the use of this . But if you are working on List (ListView or RecyclerView etc) then you can directly access the dataset attached with the view by position.

you can't take "image path" from imageView by using Glide or any other libraries, one can set image bitmap or background in the imageView so you can get bitmap back from imageview if you want but you cannot get imagepath back from imageview.
if you wants to remember image path with you are going to apply as a bitmap in imageview you can do it via add the image path to arraylist and use it when needed
Try this code :
Glide.with(this).load(Uri.parse(resultUri)).asBitmap().into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>() {
#Override
public void onResourceReady(Bitmap resource, GlideAnimation<? super Bitmap> glideAnimation) {
if (resource != null) {
myTouchView1.setImageBitmap(resource);
}
}
});

You should read:
Guide Documentation
The imagepath will be something like:
String asseturl = "file:///android_asset/demo1.jpg";
Glide.with(context).load(asserturl)....

Picasso showing error while loading images(Album Cover Pic) from MediaStore

I am trying to load images in a recycler View using Picasso using the code
Picasso.with(context).load(songs.CoverArtAlbumPath.get(position)).into(holder.primaryImageView, new Callback() {
#Override
public void onSuccess() {
Log.v("abc","suc");
}
#Override
public void onError() {
Log.v("abc","err");
}
});
And it always ends up in onError() method. I tried to load the images using the traditional way by using BitmapFactory.decodeFile and other methods and then it was working fine.
The songs.CoverArtAlbumPath.get(position) contain strings like as "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.android.providers.media/albumthumbs/1456505346363"
I also tried to load an image from the drawable folder by just changing the .load() parameters in the Picasso code and it got loaded. That means no error in the context and ImageView I am using here.
The string which I am passing in the .load() method is the string path for the Cover Art of the Album from the MediaStore.
The ImageView used here is the View in the following xml code
<ImageView
android:gravity="left"
android:id="#+id/grid_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</ImageView>
Please Help to tell that what is wrong and what should I do to make it work.
Thanks in advance.

you can try this:
for showing image with storage path:
String path ="/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.android.providers.media/albumthumbs/145650‌​5346363.png";
Picasso.with(mContext).load("file://" + path)
//.transform(new util.CircleTransform())// optional
//.placeholder(R.drawable.default1) // optional
.error(R.drawable.default1) // optional
.into(holder.primaryImageView);
for showing image from url:
String url ="http://www.domain_name.com/image.png";
Picasso.with(mContext)
.load(url)
//.placeholder(R.drawable.default1) // optional
.error(R.drawable.default1) // optional
//.transform(new CircleTransform())// optional
.into(holder.primaryImageView);

You are doing it wrong try this
String path ="/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.android.providers.media/albumthumbs/145650‌​5346363.png";
Picasso.with(context).load(new File(path)).into(holder.primaryImageView);
