Picasso image loading

Question

I am trying to load images from camera path in gridview with the help of Picasso 2.5.2

storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20150822_133220.jpg here is the path.

Also I tried the given solution for the issue in Github repo of picasso. But it doesn't solve my problem.

I tried with Transformation of picasso, but images not getting load from camera path.

I tried this

File imageFile = new File(data.path);
Picasso.with(mContext)
  .load(imageFile)
  .placeholder(R.drawable.default_error)
  .error(R.drawable.default_error)
  .resize(mItemSize, mItemSize)
  .centerCrop()
  .into(image);

Can you please show the code and if there is an error in the logcat? — Miriana Itani, Aug 22 '15 at 10:26
@Miriana Itani : Question updated. Also tried with the uri, stringpath, and both with "file:///" as prefix, but nor working. I stuck on it. — Sagar Panwala, Aug 22 '15 at 12:53
Actually phone doesn't matter here. I tried with with Samsung SM-G355H (4.4.2) , HTC Desire 816G(4.4.2), Samsung S3(4.2). — Sagar Panwala, Aug 22 '15 at 13:01
I was just checking if it a lollipop thing. I know this is a stupid but you have all the permissions right? I also want you try to load a url. Then we could start narrowing the problem down. — Miriana Itani, Aug 22 '15 at 13:05
A dev also has the same problem. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31270090/picasso-library-does-not-load-images-from-sd-card-on-adroid — Sagar Panwala, Aug 22 '15 at 13:15
is your path exactly `storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20150822_133220.jpg`? — Ivan Bartsov, Aug 22 '15 at 13:17
yes. It is the path. I have checked that on also confirm with `File file = new File(filePath); if(file.exists())` — Sagar Panwala, Aug 22 '15 at 13:24
Does it give you any errors if you pass it a callback as the second parameter to `.into()` (as done at the other Picasso question you linked)? — Ivan Bartsov, Aug 22 '15 at 13:37
No. It doesn't give me any error. It is directly showing the ErrorPlaceholder — Sagar Panwala, Aug 22 '15 at 13:40
can you try to load the image with a different library like fresco? it can give some clarity as to if the problem is in picasso or some other component. — Amit Tiwari, Jan 23 '16 at 09:32

You must pass a url into the load() method.

File imageFile = new File(data.path);

 try{
        String url = imageFile.toURI().toURL().toString(); 
        Picasso.with(mContext)
               .load(url)
               .placeholder(R.drawable.default_error)
               .error(R.drawable.default_error)
               .resize(mItemSize, mItemSize)
               .centerCrop()
               .into(image);   
    }catch (MalformedURLException exeption){
        exeption.printStackTrace();
    }

Don't use hardcoded paths to access sd card content -- they're not universal across devices.

Use .getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() and the proper two-parameter File constructor instead:

File f = new File(
        Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM),
        "Camera/IMG_20150822_133220.jpg");
Picasso.with(mContext).load(f)./* ..;

UPD Oh actually, apart from that, they have an open bug that looks related, someone there says they worked around the issue using absolute path, so try

Picasso.with(context).load(new File(data.path).getAbsolutePath())...

It's not hard coded. I gave you the path which I'm getting while debugging. – Sagar Panwala Aug 22 '15 at 13:36
Found something, take a look at the update in my answer – Ivan Bartsov Aug 22 '15 at 13:58
Barstov . Sorry, with Absolutepath it is still not working. – Sagar Panwala Aug 23 '15 at 05:23
Hm. Ok, then I'm all out of suggestions. At least go and your comment or a simple *+1* to the bug on github I linked -- that'll make it draw developer's attention faster. – Ivan Bartsov Aug 23 '15 at 12:25

I had a similar problem now and this is how I solved it. I'm trying to take a screenshot of my phone's screen and then I saved it down as a jpg file in this filepath:

filepath: /data/data/com.example.simon.myapp/app_report/report.jpg

However, Picasso was not loading this at all - it was just giving me a blank screen.

So then when I took the screenshot, I decided to remove the .jpg from the filename so that the filepath resembles this:

filepath: /data/data/com.example.simon.myapp/app_report/report

I then used the following code to access and display my screenshot with no further problems.

    ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(context);
    File directory = cw.getDir("report", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    file = new File(directory, "/report");
    Log.e("filepath", file.getPath());
    Picasso.with(context).load(file).memoryPolicy(MemoryPolicy.NO_CACHE).into(screenshot);

I know that you will need to get the jpg file extension at some future stage, so if you need to get the "report.jpg", simply rename the file using this method:

android, How to rename a file?

private boolean rename(File from, File to) {
    return from.getParentFile().exists() && from.exists() && from.renameTo(to);
}
