Is it possible to get icons from the server at run time?

I don't want to have some icons inside the application. Can I download icons from the server? And how can this be done? Maybe I need a cache for it.
Icons converted from svg to xml.

Yes,sure.. you can hit API and parse parameter named iconurl and put parameter in picasso.
Like this.
Picasso.with(context).load(your_iconurl).fit().into(holder.your_imageview);

Add below dependency in Gradle:
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
Refer below sample code to load image into view:
String imageUri = "https://i.imgur.com/tGbaZCY.jpg";
ImageView ivBasicImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivBasicImage);
Picasso.with(context).load(imageUri).into(ivBasicImage);

Android add shortcut icon from a url instead from drawable resources

I have an app where i am adding shortcut. I want to add shortcut icon image from URL path(images are stored on server and can be change) instead of using Drawable but i don't know how to do that. I tried to find a lot on this community. Any help?

If the term used "shortcut icon" is a view or its descendants such as ImageView, then you can set the image, your application receive from the server by doing this :
add dependency to your app.gradle file :
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'
and in the activity you can use this method to set the image to the imageview your app receive from the server :
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);
Glide.with(imageview.getContext()).load("https://url").error(R.drawable.not_found).centerCrop().into(imageview);

What you could do is first download that icon and store locally and then take that file path and use
ShortcutInfoCompat shortcutInfo = new ShortcutInfoCompat.Builder(this, UUID.randomUUID().toString())
.setIntent(intent) // !!! intent's action must be set on oreo
.setShortLabel(lable)
.setIcon(IconCompat.createWithAdaptiveBitmapContentUri(filePath)).build();
ShortcutManagerCompat.requestPinShortcut(this, shortcutInfo, null);

add this in your build.gradle
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
now you can load the image using following code
Picaso.with(this).load(urlHere).into(imageView);

Loading images in recyclerview with picasso from api

Add image in RecyclerView from api using picasso

Image loading using Picasso is very easy, you can do it like this way Picasso.get().load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView); and in their website you can get every details. In your case you can parse every image URL and use RecyclerView to show them along with Picasso.

Picasso.get().load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView)
In the new versions of Picasso you don't need the context anymore.
I'm using:
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'

In the new versions of Picasso used get()
Picasso latest version Picasso library: 2.71828
Picasso
.get()
.load("You Img Path Place Here")
.resize(width, height)
.noFade()
.into("Path set ImageView");
Used latest picasso version
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'

Try this
String img_url = "YOUR IMAGE URL";
if (!img_url.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
Picasso.with(context).load(img_url).placeholder(R.drawable.user_image)// Place holder image from drawable folder
.error(R.drawable.user_image).resize(110, 110).centerCrop()
.into("IMAGE VIEW ID WHERE YOU WANT TO SET IMAGE");
Happy coding.

You can load image using picasso like this way
Picasso.with(context).load(android_versions.get(i).getAndroid_image_url()).resize(120, 60).into(viewHolder.img_android);
https://www.learn2crack.com/2016/02/image-loading-recyclerview-picasso.html

Here ctx is context, list.getImage_full_path()) is image coming from server, in placeholder a static image is placed if image is not loaded, on error kent is name of image and into(servicecart_image) is placed in XML so image is loaded there
Picasso.with(ctx).load(list.getImage_full_path()).resize(160, 200).placeholder(R.drawable.kent)
.error(R.drawable.kent).into(servicecart_image);

Set an ImageView from photo url

How can I set an image to a ImageView from a URL?
Using Firebase authentication, I get the photo URL of the signed in user:
Uri uri = firebaseUser.getProviderData().get(0).getPhotoUrl();

You can use Picasso Library to show images in ImageView.
You just need to pass the url, uri or resource to Picasso with image view.
like
Picasso.with(this).load(/* url of image */).into(/*your imageview id*/);
To use the picasso you need to add the following in Gradle
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
Read the documentation on http://square.github.io/picasso/
Also There are other libraries to display image in ImageView.
Like Fresco, Glide, Universal Image Loader etc

Picasso load drawable resources from their URI

I have to show a drawable from res into an ImageView. In this app, I'm using Picasso for some reasons.
In this case, I need to load the drawable using its URI and not its id.
To do that, here is my code:
uri = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://"+context.getPackageName()+"/drawable/" + drawableName);
where drawableName used here are file names rather than their resource ids.
Then
Picasso.with(context).load(uri).into(imageView);
I know for sure that drawable name is correct, but Picasso seems it does not like this uri.

If the images is in your drawable folder then you can just load it.
Picasso.with(context).load(R.drawable.drawableName).into(imageView);
and picasso will load it no need for an Uri.

Found the answer. Unfortunately, Picasso do not allow drawable loading via URI. It is an incoming feature.

This is if you don't want to hardcode the image that you are going
to load...
You can load local image files from your drawable folder lazily if you know the integer value of the image that you want to be loaded.
Then you can just do:
Picasso.with(getContext()).load(imageResourceId)
.error(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.into(imageView);
Where
imageView
is the view you wish to display the image. For example:
imageView = (ImageView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.itemImage);
And where
imageResourceId
is the integer value of the drawable. You can retrieve this integer value by:
int productImageId = resources.getIdentifier(
productImageName, "drawable", context.getPackageName());
as well as
productImageName
is the name of the drawable you want to draw (i.e. "ic_launcher")
THIS CAN ALL BE DONE INSIDE FROM THE ADAPTER

From picasso v2+ here is a big modification. The new version is very helpful in order to manage image cache data. It's using Singleton Instance.
GRADLE
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
Set drawable image
Picasso.get()
.load(url)
.placeholder(R.drawable.user_placeholder)
.error(R.drawable.user_placeholder_error)
.into(imageView);
Bonus, get drawable by name:
public static int getDrawableIdFromFileName(Context context, String nameOfDrawable) {
return context.getResources().getIdentifier(nameOfDrawable, "drawable", context.getPackageName());
}

As mentioned in the documentation of Picasso .
they are now supporting loading Image from URI like the following :
load(android.net.Uri uri)
so you have to do something like the following :
Picasso.with(context).load(uri).into(imageView);
just like what you are doing already .
Hopethat helps .
