I use to download files and photos the Glide or the Retrofit but had never come across the need I’m having now. The url is type http://meuserver.com/user/4564654/qrcode

the number is the user id and the qrcode is where the qrcode image file generated by the server is located, when I put this URL in the browser it downloads the normal image like any file being downloaded by the browser but inside Android I don’t know how to do it with Glide or Retrofit.

android retrofit okhttp

  • You want to download the image or show it in an Imageview for example?

  • Show it in Imageview!

Glide and retrofit are libraries, in short, for different purposes. With the retrofit you will go to the server and fetch the image path or even download the file.

Using this library, you can bring the path where your image is, as stated in your question. When bringing the URL, use Glide to show it in your imageView.

@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  ...
  ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.my_image_view);

  GlideApp.with(this).load("http://suaurl").into(imageView);
}

  • Yes, true Glide is good for this but it does not download the URL file, it seems to me that it will only download if I enter the file name Ex.: 'http://suaurl.com/user/564564/qrcode/user_564564_qrcode.png' but not if the address is: 'http://suaurl.com/user/564564/qrcode'

  • The address must be complete, of the file, this address it generates what? A list of images? You can download the file, save to a local folder and open the path in imageView or Glide or Picasso

  • It generates an archive, only a file inside that folder, the final URL. When I copy and paste the URL into Chrome it simply downloads the file, but in Glide it from the error, it does not download.

  • Then you will have to load after downloading the file.
