I don't know why everybody is making it so complicated you can use Glide to achieve this in simplest and efficient way with just 1 line of code

Declare this path in App Constants -

final public static Uri sArtworkUri = Uri
                .parse("content://media/external/audio/albumart");

Get Image Uri using Album ID

Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(PlayerConstants.sArtworkUri,
                        listOfAlbums.get(position).getAlbumID());

Now simply display album art using uri :-

    Glide.with(context).load(uri).placeholder(R.drawable.art_default).error(R.drawable.art_default)
                    .crossFade().centerCrop().into(holder.albumImage);

Glide will handle caching, scaling and lazy loading of images for you.

Hope it help somebody.
