Glidev4 Integration
What is Glide ?
Glide is a fast and efficient image loading library for Android focused on smooth scrolling. Glide offers an easy to use API, a performant and extensible resource decoding pipeline and automatic resource pooling.
Features:
•Glide supports fetching, decoding, and displaying video stills, images, and animated GIFs.
•By default Glide uses a custom HttpUrlConnection based stack, but also includes utility libraries plug in to Google’s Volley project or Square’s OkHttp library instead.
Glide is also effective for almost any case where you need to fetch, resize, and display a remote image.
Glide uses a simple fluent API that allows users to make most requests in a single line:
Code sample:
Glide.with(fragment).load(url).into(imageView);
Glide integration in Android project:
Step 1:
Requirements:
Glide v4 requires Android Ice Cream Sandwich (API level 14) or higher.
Step 2:
Dependencies:
Add the below dependencies in module level build.gradle
dependencies{
implementation ‘com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.11.0’
annotationProcessor ‘com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.11.0’
}
Step 3:
Create an empty class that extends AppGlideModule annotated with
@GlideModule in order to Glidev4 APIs as below :
@GlideModule
public class GiftListGlideModule extends AppGlideModule {
}
Step 4:
Downloading image from remote URL:
Use GlideApp.with() API to access image from remote URL as below code sample:
GlideApp.with(ctx)
.asBitmap()
.load(url)
.into(new CustomTarget<Bitmap>(){
@Override
public void onResourceReady(@NonNull Bitmap resource, @Nullable Transition<? super Bitmap> transition) {
if(resource!=null){
//Set the received bitmap to imageView as per requirement
}
@Override
public void onLoadCleared(@Nullable Drawable placeholder) {
Log.writeInfo(LOG_TAG + “ onLoadCleared() “);
}
@Override
public void onLoadFailed(@Nullable Drawable errorDrawable) {
super.onLoadFailed(errorDrawable);
Log.writeInfo(LOG_TAG + “onLoadFailed() “);
}
});
