Is there a way to load image as bitmap to Glide

Question

Im looking for a way to use bitmap as input to Glide. I am even not sure if its possible. It\'s for resizing purposes. Glide has a good image enhancement with scale. The pro

Answer 1

A really strange case, but lets try to solve it. I'm using the old and not cool Picasso, but one day I'll give Glide a try. Here are some links that could help you :

• Bitmap POC
• Supporting bitmaps topic
• Someone also facing your problem

And actually a cruel but I think efficient way to solve this :

ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
  yourBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
  Glide.with(this)
      .load(stream.toByteArray())
      .asBitmap()
      .error(R.drawable.ic_thumb_placeholder)
      .transform(new CircleTransform(this))
      .into(imageview);

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I hope it can make you a step closer to the solution.

Answer 2

Please use Implementation for that is:

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.9.0'

     Glide.with(this)
     .asBitmap()
      .load("http://url")
    .into(new CustomTarget <Bitmap>() {   
@Override  
public void onResourceReady(@NonNull Bitmap resource, @Nullable Transition <? super Bitmap> transition) { 
                // you can do something with loaded bitmap here

 }
@Override 
public void onLoadCleared(@Nullable Drawable placeholder) { 
 } 
});

Answer 3

The accepted answer works for previous versions, but in new versions of Glide use:

RequestOptions requestOptions = new RequestOptions();
requestOptions.placeholder(android.R.drawable.waiting);
requestOptions.error(R.drawable.waiting);
Glide.with(getActivity()).apply(requestOptions).load(imageUrl).into(imageView);

Answer 4

Most of the API's and methods of Glide are now deprecated. Below is working for Glide 4.9 and upto Android 10.

For image URI

  Bitmap bitmap = Glide
    .with(context)
    .asBitmap()
    .load(image_uri_or_drawable_resource_or_file_path)
    .submit()
    .get();

Use Glide as below in build.gradle

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.9.0'

In Kotlin,

Glide.with(this)
            .asBitmap()
            .load("https://...")
            .addListener(object : RequestListener<Bitmap> {
                override fun onLoadFailed(
                    e: GlideException?,
                    model: Any?,
                    target: Target<Bitmap>?,
                    isFirstResource: Boolean
                ): Boolean {
                    Toast.makeText(this@MainActivity, "failed: " + e?.printStackTrace(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                    return false
                }

                override fun onResourceReady(
                    resource: Bitmap?,
                    model: Any?,
                    target: Target<Bitmap>?,
                    dataSource: DataSource?,
                    isFirstResource: Boolean
                ): Boolean {
                    //image is ready, you can get bitmap here
                    return false
                }

            })
            .into(imageView)
