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

Seems strange but only thing I could guess is Your URL is valid as You already said. Your remote is getting downloaded even getting applied on your image view but your placeholder is somehow hiding it. Glide has some bugs related to placeholder stuff.

My suggestion would be to try below:

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

So the trick is placeholder is set via setImageDrawable() so the ImageView will just display it as usual, but you tell Glide to use the fitCenter explicitly which will fit the loaded image nicely within the ImageView's laid out size via a Transformation and then set it via setImageDrawable(). Since the fitted image is a perfect fit, center will just draw the image covering the whole area of the view.

Give it a try.
