将图片从网址加载到图片视图

Question

I am developing an Android app for which I am working with an API.

The API is returning certain results such as an URL of an Image.

Since I have always been using Glide library to load offline and online images to an ImageView so for this also I am using the Glide Library.

But the problem this time is that sometimes the url which is returned through an API is not returning an Image file but is returning a normmal file only. I mean that if I paste that url in an web browser then the file which is being downloaded is not in an Image form but just in an file form. Hence when I try to use that url with the Glide library it is not working.

But after downloading if I change the extension of the file to an image extension then the file is being opened properly as an image.

Any help on how a url which is returning a general file can be used to show an image would be really helpful.

This is how I am using the Glide Library

Glide.with(context.getApplicationContext())
                .load(GetImageUrl())
                .asBitmap()
                .listener(new RequestListener<String, Bitmap>() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onException(Exception e, String model, Target<Bitmap> target, boolean isFirstResource) {
                        return false;
                    }

                    @Override
                    public boolean onResourceReady(Bitmap resource, String model, Target<Bitmap> target, boolean isFromMemoryCache, boolean isFirstResource) {

                        return false;
                    }
                })
                .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.RESULT)
                .thumbnail(0.5f)
                .into(image);

Answer 1

Just rename your file with added extension and load it using glide. It will works the same. Like if you are getting a file namely 123, before loading that image using glide just add 123 + ".jpg" or whatever extension is and load. It's that simple. Hope that helps.
