For example, Lucas Rocha explains it perfectly in a famous article here: http://lucasr.org/2012/04/05

Otherwise just wait a bit - and then proceed totally normally. With the magnificent Picasso, depressingly it looks like there is a fork which in fact does just this, it has a "withDelay" option** (see https://github.com/square/picasso/issues/248 ) I'm scared of forks. But is it possible to do
