Can not load GIF from GeoNames link with Glide

Question

1 GeoNames

 Glide.with(this)
            .load("https://www.geonames.org/flags/x/ad.gif")
            .into(imageViewFlag_info);

2 Giphy

Glide.with(this)
        .load("https://media.giphy.com/media/98uBZTzlXMhkk/giphy.gif")
        .into(imageViewFlag_info);

1 and 2 are different

2nd example works with Giphy but Glide can't load image from GeoNames link.

Answer 1

Specify an appropriate User-Agent by using GlideUrl :

GlideUrl glideUrl = new GlideUrl("https://www.geonames.org/flags/x/ad.gif", new LazyHeaders.Builder()
        .addHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0")
        .build());

Glide.with(this)
        .load(glideUrl)
        .into(imageViewFlag_info);

Answer 2

Try this tutorial to setup GlideApp: https://futurestud.io/tutorials/glide-getting-started Then write this line of code and it should work on your use case
