Glide not loading real image and stuck with placeholder

Question

I have a pretty basic load image from server line code:

Glide.with(view.getContext()).load(url).placeholder(R.drawable.default_profile).into(view);

Answer 1

Below is a weird fix that worked for me.

The following always fails for me (12 trials) - I never see the real image:

Glide.with(context)
 .load(url)
 .asBitmap()
 .into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>(iconWidth, iconHeight) { ... }

The following always succeeds for me (12 trials) - I always see the real image:

Glide.with(context)
 .load(url)
 .asBitmap()
 .listener(new RequestListener() {
    public boolean onException(Exception e,Object o,Target t,boolean b)
               {return false;}
    public boolean onResourceReady(Object o,Object p,Target t,boolean b,boolean c)  
               {return false;}})
 .into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>(iconWidth, iconHeight) { ... }

As you can see, the only difference here is that I added a listener. Makes little sense, but these trials were done pretty carefully, so I'm going with it.

Answer 2

Dont use transition or animation for Glide.It will solve your problem

Code :

Glide.with(context)
    .load(horizontalHappyHourList.get(position).getImage())
//  .transition(DrawableTransitionOptions.withCrossFade(400)) //Optional
    .apply(RequestOptions.diskCacheStrategyOf(DiskCacheStrategy.RESOURCE)
    .error(R.drawable.no_image))
    .into(holder.imageView);

Answer 3

Add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the application tag in manifest and check the internet permission is mentioned or not in the same manifest file:-

Answer 4

If someone comes across this in the future you may need to add

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Unsure of the exact reason for this change, nonetheless my code didn't work without that permission, and now does with it.

Answer 5

Check if you have added Internet permission in the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Glide does not fire exception if there is no Internet connectivity.
