Glide load local image by Uri.

Question

I'm trying to use Glide to load an image from local storage with no success.

Glide.with(mContext)
    .load(pictureUri) // Uri of the picture
    .transform(new CircleTransform(..))
    .into(profileAvatar);

This is the error I get:

java.lang.Exception: Failed to load model: '/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20150831_180900.jpg'

Answer 1

While waiting for someone to respond, I tried to make a File instance from the Uri and load that. It works! Weird!

Glide.with(mContext)
    .load(new File(pictureUri.getPath())) // Uri of the picture
    .transform(new CircleTransform(..))
    .into(profileAvatar);

Answer 2

If you pass an Uri instance it better be compliant, it looks like yours doesn't have a schema (file://).

You can check how Uri, String and File models are loaded to debunk the weirdness :)

Answer 3

If it is a file path, it can be passed directly. Tested with Glide 4.8.0

 Glide.with(context)
  .load(pictureUri.getPath())
  .transform(new CircleTransform(..))
  .into(profileAvatar);

Answer 4

Make sure that the Uri is from file.

Uri photoUri = Uri.fromFile( new File( preferences.getPhotoUrl()));

Glide.with(this).load( photoUri).into( civUserProfilePhoto);
