I want to use picasso to load an image from a url into a placeholder, but not store that image in cache - in other words, I want the image to be downloaded from the net directly to disk and then loaded from disk when needed. I understand there's a class called RequestCreator where you can specify memory policy - does anyone have an example of using picasso/requestcreator to do something like this?
So.. something like:
RequestCreator requestCreator = new RequestCreator();
requestCreator.memoryPolicy(MemoryPolicy.NO_CACHE);
....
merged with:
Picasso.with(context).load(someurl).fit().placeholder(someplaceholder).into(sometarget)..
Picasso supports this by it's skipMemoryCache() in the Picasso builder. An example is shown below.
Picasso.with(context).load(imageUrl)
.error(R.drawable.error)
.placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
.skipMemoryCache()
.into(imageView);
With the new API you should use it like this so that it skips looking for it and storing it in the cache:
Picasso.with(context).load(imageUrl)
.error(R.drawable.error)
.placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
.memoryPolicy(MemoryPolicy.NO_CACHE, MemoryPolicy.NO_STORE)
.into(imageView);
NO_CACHE
Skips memory cache lookup when processing a request.
NO_STORE
Skips storing the final result into memory cache. Useful for one-off requests to avoid evicting other bitmaps from the cache.
For picasso:2.71828 or above version use the following for skipping using disk cache networkPolicy(NetworkPolicy.NO_CACHE) :
Picasso.get()
.load(camera_url)
.placeholder(R.drawable.loader2)
.networkPolicy(NetworkPolicy.NO_CACHE, NetworkPolicy.NO_STORE)
.into(img_cam_view);
Picasso 2.5.0
If you are using Picasso to load image from Internet, you have to use NetworkPolicy attribute.
.networkPolicy(NetworkPolicy.NO_STORE)
but live memory cache (Not disk cache) is useful, you might want to keep it.
just append this at the end of url.
"?=" + System.currentTimeMillis();

Hi I am using Glide to load image and after following many posts I tried to implement Glide caching using
RequestOptions().diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL).centerCrop()
Glide.with(mContext)
.load(imageUrl)
.transition(ImageUtil.crossFadeTransition())
.apply(ImageUtil.requestOptionsForSlider())
.listener(glideRequestListner)
.into(imageView)
My knowledge is that if I use diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL) then the above Glide image loading code will automatically use cache if available, or download if not, right?
But I see everytime the code is called, (checking my internet speed meter) that it is always fetching/downloading from the given url (even though I can see the app memory size is increasing).
I even tried this code also-
val future: FutureTarget<File> = Glide.with(mContext)
.load(imageUrl)
.downloadOnly(500, 500)
Nothing seems to work
What should I do so that Glide uses cache if available?What is wrong with my conception about the caching implementation? Any help is very much appreciated!
Are you sure it is downloading again ? did you try disabling internet just before loading the images ?
Otherwise, is your image URL always the same for the same image ? (as Glide uses it as a cache key).
You can use this in the following calls to check if images are in cache:
Glide.with(fragment)
.load(url)
.onlyRetrieveFromCache(true)
.into(imageView);
I am using Glide image loader to load an image from a specific URL, now if I update the image to the same URL, Glide is still showing the cached image in my imageview. How to reload the image from the same URL?
As per the Glide wiki Caching-and-Cache-Invalidation
Option 1 (Glide v4): Use ObjectKey to change the file's date modified time.
Glide.with(requireContext())
.load(myUrl)
.signature(ObjectKey(System.currentTimeMillis().toString()))
.into(myImageView)
Option 1 (Glide v3): Use StringSignature to change the file's date modified time.
URLs - Although the best way to invalidate URLs is to make sure the server changes the URL and updates the client when the content at the URL changes, you can also use StringSignature to mix in arbitrary metadata
Glide.with(yourFragment)
.load(url)
.signature(new StringSignature(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()))
.into(yourImageView);
If all else fails and you can neither change your identifier nor keep track of any reasonable version metadata,
Option 2: You can also disable disk caching entirely using diskCacheStrategy() and DiskCacheStrategy.NONE
Glide.with(Activity.this).load(url)
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE )
.skipMemoryCache(true)
.into(imageView);
Reference: https://github.com/bumptech/glide/wiki/Caching-and-Cache-Invalidation
Use .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)
Glide.with(context)
.load(url)
.apply(new RequestOptions()
.placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
.error(R.drawable.error)
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)
.skipMemoryCache(true))
.into(ImageView);
Add
signature(new ObjectKey(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis())))
RequestOptions requestOptions = new RequestOptions();
requestOptions.placeholder(R.drawable.cover_placeholder);
requestOptions.error(R.drawable.no_image_available);
requestOptions.signature(
new ObjectKey(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis())));
Glide.with(MosaicFragment.this)
.setDefaultRequestOptions(requestOptions)
.load(finalPathOrUrl)
Use below code, it working fine for me. Set diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE) and skipMemoryCache(true). It will load the image every time.
Glide.with(Activity.this)
.load(theImagePath)
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)
.skipMemoryCache(true)
.into(myImageViewPhoto);
After struggling for a couple of hours, I find the solution.You can mix in the datetime of file by adding StringSignature.So when the file will load,It will always use the latest one.Like this
Glide.with(this)
.load(image_url)
.signature(new StringSignature(String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis())))
.into(imageview);
Reference : https://github.com/bumptech/glide/wiki/Caching-and-Cache-Invalidation
I used a work around since no other method worked for me
In my case I knew that when the image on the server will change so I was just adding ?= at the end of the url, for glide it will be a new url and instead of using cache Glide will load the new image.
Is it possible to cache image using glide without showing it in the imageView?. If it is then how?.
Right now I'm doing this code:
Glide
.with(getApplicationContext())
.load("imageUrl")
.override(windowWidth(),(int)windowWidth()*0.5))
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL);
But this is not working , when app is open glide load image not from cache but from url.
Since glide 4.X:
//to save img
RequestManager rm = Glide.with(context);
rm.load(imgUrl).submit();
//to load img
Glide.with(context)
.applyDefaultRequestOptions(
new RequestOptions().diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL))
.load(imgUrl)
.into(view);
Based on this GitHub topic
i've never used it, but referring the documentation: have you tried the downloadOnly?
Glide's downloadOnly() API allows you to download the bytes of an image into the disk cache so that it will be available to be retrieved later.
https://github.com/bumptech/glide/wiki/Loading-and-Caching-on-Background-Threads#downloadonly
To preload remote images and ensure that the image is only downloaded once:
Glide.with(context)
.load(yourUrl)
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE)
.preload();
So, I was starting my project and wants to use Picasso in my project because its popular and used by many projects out there.
I included picasso using gradle and tried loading facebook profile url with this. http://graph.facebook.com/rohitiskul/picture.
It worked very well. It loaded image from network without any issues. I restarted the app.(Without actually killing the process). It showed me the same image instantly cached in Memory.
But then, I killed the app (force stop) and restarted. It took almost 10+ seconds to load the image. And that image was loading from the disk when I checked in the debug logs.
My code looks like this -
In MainActivity-
Picasso.with(context)
.load("http://graph.facebook.com/rohitiskul/picture")
.into(imageView);
In application class-
Picasso picasso = new Picasso.Builder(this)
.indicatorsEnabled(true).loggingEnabled(true).build()
Picasso.setSingletonInstance(picasso);
Anyone with the similar problem? Any solution would be helpful.
I tried loading same Url with UniversalImageLoader and it was fast when fetching cached image from disk.
Edit
Earlier while playing with my app, I found out that Picasso wasn't loading the disk cached image when device was offline.
I encounter the same problem,
but find only slow for the first image, later images will be fast.
Probably it needs a warm-up (loading index cache) ?
Okay i got your problem. I have fixed it by doing this
Picasso.with(context)
.load("http://graph.facebook.com/rohitiskul/picture")
.networkPolicy(NetworkPolicy.OFFLINE)
.into(imageView, new Callback() {
#Override
public void onSuccess() { }
#Override
public void onError() {
// Try again online if cache failed
Picasso.with(context)
.load("http://graph.facebook.com/rohitiskul/picture")
.into(imageView);
}
});
Explanation:
Picasso will look for images in cache.
If it failed only then image will be downloaded over network. In your case from facebook.
This issue I had also faced earlier, with this what I understood that Picasso refer the cached image based on image name mentioned in the URL.
In your case you don't have image name in URL like 'image1.jpg'. Due to which Picasso is finding it difficult to read from cache and it downloads the image everytime
You can give a try to image containing the image name in URL and that will work
Picasso doesn't offer disk cache out of the box. Instead, it relies on an Http Cache.
Make sure you add OkHttp to your dependency list.
Add a string identifier with the stableKey method when making the request so Picasso can identify your requests and quickly load it from the cache.
Example:
Picasso.Builder(context).loggingEnabled(true).build()
.load(imageUrl)
.stableKey("myImage")
.into(imageView)
im using picasso library to load images.
However in my application, users can have profile pictures and the link for the image is constant... Picasso has no clue that the image has changed...
I tried using : .skipMemoryCache() but it wasn't an ideal solution...
Is there a way to check if there's a new picture in the same link using picasso? Thanks!
Apparently, there is no API in the current (2.3.2) version of Picasso to achieve this (but it is a work in progress - see this bug).
That aside, if you have control of the server side, you may want to think about your design decision to provide the changing profile picture at a constant URL.
An alternative would be: Include the current profile picture URL in the profile information you retrieve. This way, your cache can use the cached image - and as soon as the profile information provides a new URL, Picasso will fetch it. In all other cases, Picasso can leverage the cache.
I got the answer from this link
change your URL as shown below:
String imageurl = url + "?time=" + System.currentTimeMillis();
Picasso.with(getContext()).load(imageurl).into(imageView);
this worked for me. thanks
Picasso.with(context)
.load(url)
.memoryPolicy(MemoryPolicy.NO_CACHE)
.networkPolicy(NetworkPolicy.NO_CACHE)
.fit()
.placeholder(YOUR PLACE HOLDER RESOURCE)
.centerCrop()
.into(imageView);
One solution is to invalidate the cache like so
Picasso.with(context).invalidate(imagePath);
The other way to force download the image which then is cached for subsequent use as mentioned in the code.
Picasso.with(context)
.load(imagePath)
.networkPolicy(NetworkPolicy.NO_CACHE)
.into(userAvatar);
