Images add much-needed context and visual flair to Android applications. Picasso allows for hassle-free image loading in your application—often in one line of code!android
Picasso.with(context).load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView);
Many common pitfalls of image loading on Android are handled automatically by Picasso:app
ImageView
recycling and download cancelation in an adapter.Adapter re-use is automatically detected and the previous download canceled.ide
@Override public void getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { SquaredImageView view = (SquaredImageView) convertView; if (view == null) { view = new SquaredImageView(context); } String url = getItem(position); Picasso.with(context).load(url).into(view); }
Transform images to better fit into layouts and to reduce memory size.this
Picasso.with(context) .load(url) .resize(50, 50) .centerCrop() .into(imageView)
You can also specify custom transformations for more advanced effects.url
public class CropSquareTransformation implements Transformation { @Override public Bitmap transform(Bitmap source) { int size = Math.min(source.getWidth(), source.getHeight()); int x = (source.getWidth() - size) / 2; int y = (source.getHeight() - size) / 2; Bitmap result = Bitmap.createBitmap(source, x, y, size, size); if (result != source) { source.recycle(); } return result; } @Override public String key() { return "square()"; } }
Pass an instance of this class to the transform
method.spa
Picasso supports both download and error placeholders as optional features.code
Picasso.with(context) .load(url) .placeholder(R.drawable.user_placeholder) .error(R.drawable.user_placeholder_error) .into(imageView);
A request will be retried three times before the error placeholder is shown.orm
Resources, assets, files, content providers are all supported as image sources.three
Picasso.with(context).load(R.drawable.landing_screen).into(imageView1); Picasso.with(context).load("file:///android_asset/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView2); Picasso.with(context).load(new File(...)).into(imageView3);
For development you can enable the display of a colored ribbon which indicates the image source. Call setIndicatorsEnabled(true)
on the Picasso instance.ssl
