Picasso crashes when loading image with path/Uri when loading image from gallery, but with Android bitmap it works.

Hello!

First of all, i wanted to say that I have a lot of respect for your work, and your API is very easy to use. Congrats for that!

I am trying to load an image with path/uri into an imageView using Picasso, but it crashes. I have the following code:

public static final int GET_FROM_GALLERY = 3;

@OnClick(R.id.imageView_signUpConfirmedEditProfileLayout_profilePicture)
    public void setProfilePicture() {

        startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI), GET_FROM_GALLERY);
    }

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        //Detects request codes
        if(requestCode == GET_FROM_GALLERY && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {
            selectedImageUri = data.getData();
            Bitmap bitmap = null;
            Bitmap scaledBitmap;
            String selectedImagePath;
            selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);

            Picasso.with(context)
                    .load(selectedImagePath)
                    .resize(800, 800)
                    .centerCrop()
                    .into(profilePictureImageView);
    }
}

 public String getPath(Uri uri) {
        // just some safety built in
        if( uri == null ) {
            // TODO perform some logging or show user feedback
            return null;
        }
        // try to retrieve the image from the media store first
        // this will only work for images selected from gallery
        String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        if( cursor != null ){
            int column_index = cursor
                    .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            return cursor.getString(column_index);
        }
        // this is our fallback here
        return uri.getPath();
    }

Using it like this, it crashes. Here is the stack trace:

I went with the debugger from start to end, the path is shown correctly, but the app crashed. Line 141 is ".into(profilePictureImageView)".

Oddly, but when I load the image with default Android methods, it works. Here is the code for that:

bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), selectedImageUri);
profilePictureImageView.setImageBitmap(source);
profilePictureHolderImageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

I don't understand why. I read dozens of stackoverflow articles for this, but i did not get to any resolve.

Can you kindly help me with this problem?

Thanks, cheers!

I apologize for the bad code formatting, i did not know how.

This does not seem to be a picasso problem. Picasso finishes the requests and sets the drawable to your custom CircularImageView.

Try using noPlaceholder() in your request..

It worked! Thanks you! Adding .noPlaceHolder() solved the problem. Continue the great work!

@dnkoutso - amazing solution.

[ret702]

I just found this solution, did you know data.getData() has a get path method built in? data.getData().getPath().

Thank you so much for this, I was having the same issue with "CircularImageView". and noPlaceholder() seemed to do the job
