fresco

I'm trying to replace Picasso in my android app with Fresco. However I am unsure of how to simply load a bitmap using Fresco. With Picasso I would just do the following. Bitmap poster = Picasso.with(getActivity()) .load(url) .resize(Utils.convertDpToPixel(WIDTH,HEIGHT)) .centerCrop() .get(); I have been unable to figure out how to create a Bitmap with this Fresco. Any ideas? As Fresco said: If your request to the pipeline is for a decoded image - an Android Bitmap, you can take advantage of our easier-to-use BaseBitmapDataSubscriber: dataSource.subscribe(new BaseBitmapDataSubscriber() {

I got a bunch of drawables that I want to load using fresco, I want to use wrap_content size for those images, how can I do it in xml with fresco? Or if xml is not possible how do you do it in code? <com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView android:id="@+id/myImage" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" fresco:placeholderImage="@mipmap/myImage"/> The above code is not working unless I set a fixed size. I am part of the Fresco team and I was the one who made the design decision to not support wrap-content. The rationale is explained in the documentation . But

I am looking for an asynchronous image loading and caching library in Android. I was going to use Picasso, but I found Universal Image Loader is more popular on GitHub. Does anyone know about these two libraries? A summary of pros and cons would be great. (All my images are on disk locally, so I don't need networking, therefore I don't think Volley is a fit) Update Sep 2018: After several years, I needed the almost same thing for a local image caching solution. This time around, UIL has not been in active development. I compared the popular libraries, and the conclusion is pretty no-brainer:
