Android app how to get photos of a specific user

Question

I'm creating a social app similar to instagram on Android studio .

Users will be able to upload and view photos in this app.

The photos are saved on a Cloud in a folder called "ProfileImage" and the URL of the photos is saved on the MySql database, along with the ID of the photo and the user's ID .

To get the photos I would like to use Picasso .

If for example the user A wants to look at his photos, the app will have to show him only his photos, that is I will have to get the URLs of the photos that have the id of the user A.

Picasso to get the photos use the following code Picasso.get().load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView);

But the problem is that I don't know the specific URL of the photos.

One solution I thought of is to get the URLs of the photos via PHP and pass them into an android variable that I will use as a URL variable for Picasso .

But this solution seems slow to me, in the sense that the photo will not be displayed immediately, but seconds will have to pass.

Can anyone recommend a faster and perhaps better solution than mine?

Answer 1

First of all, Upload your image to server and save image url inside mysql database not image itself. Create one api that returns user info including image url.
