How to load URL image in android wear?

Question

Right now I am using Glide-library to load the image in Android Wear. It doesn't load the image in most of the times. However, it loads image sometimes. Don't know what going wrong in my code.

Note Wear is connected to the device via Bluetooth and I successfully get JSON response of Webservice in Android Wear via Broadcast Receiver from mobile. All data are displayed properly in wear except the images.

Glide.with(mContext)
   .load("http://www.hanamoflorist.ca/images/uploads/Spring5InchesCubeVaseArrangement$45.00.jpg")
      .listener(new RequestListener<String, GlideDrawable>() {

        @Override
        public boolean onException(Exception e, String model, Target<GlideDrawable> target, boolean isFirstResource) {
            Log.e("exception in image", "" + e);
            Toast.makeText(mContext, "" + e, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onResourceReady(GlideDrawable resource, String model, Target<GlideDrawable> target, boolean isFromMemoryCache, boolean isFirstResource) {
            return false;
        }
    }).error(R.drawable.ic_placeholder_image)
        .into(((ItemViewHolder) holder).ivCardImage);

Answer 1

I think you should use, DaVinci for image loading in Wearable,

DaVinci.with(context).load("Your Url").into(imageView);

Make sure you use the same playservices version as the library,

You will be able to integrate the same by adding this to your gradle:

wear :

compile ('com.github.florent37:davinci:1.0.3@aar'){
    transitive = true
}

Mobile:

compile ('com.github.florent37:davincidaemon:1.0.3@aar'){
     transitive = true
}

Hope you will get what you want.

The issue is due to socket time out...

You can resolve it using Glide itself. You just need to use Glide with OKHttp3, and set Timeout Limit for OkHttpClient.

In your module dependency

compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'
compile ('com.github.bumptech.glide:okhttp3-integration:1.4.0'){
    exclude group: 'glide-parent'
}

Customize glide settings

public class MyGlideModule implements GlideModule {
   @Override
   public void applyOptions(Context context, GlideBuilder builder) {

   }

   @Override
   public void registerComponents(Context context, Glide glide) {

       OkHttpClient.Builder builder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();

       // set your timeout here
       builder.readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
       builder.writeTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
       builder.connectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
       OkHttpUrlLoader.Factory factory = new    OkHttpUrlLoader.Factory(client);
       glide.register(GlideUrl.class, InputStream.class, factory);
   }
}

In manifest put below code

 <meta-data
        android:name="YourPath.MyGlideModule"
        android:value="GlideModule" />
