I dont want to ask users for permission to allow app to read data.

Picasso: Extension to load images with Picasso

[sanatmalani]

picasso extension does not support dynamic component as yet.

I tired your extension, got tons of download notification on mobile and was also not able to route file location successfully.

I have a question -
I edited android manifest file, and removed the code requesting user for permission to read, then Why is it still asking user read permission? I had removed that code!!

You can try this:

Glide Image Loader Extension- Load Images Fastly With Cache (Gif Supported) [FREE]

This extension allows you to load images fastly with cache, It is based on one of the famous library Glide. It also supports loading Gif image. Thanks to @chaimk For Sponsoring This Extension ! Blocks [glideimageloaderblocks] Note As I Found There Was Already A Extension Based On Glide Was Available, But it mostly used to cause compiling problems,problems in live test and it also didn’t supported Gif ,But this one does . There are two versions of the extension, First use the AIX1,If it…

Hi,
Does it work with dynamic components? With the sample blocks not able to figure out to use it with dynamic components.

Waiting for an update of your extension.

Sure.

extension can work with dynamic components, see an example here

Glide Image Loader Extension- Load Images Fastly With Cache (Gif Supported) [FREE]

Instead of using dynamic images use dynamic components by @yusufcihan . Retrieve airtable data in a list and then try something like this [image]

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

Wait…Picasso has been migrated to AndroidX so it will not work in Kodular.

Let’s assume there are 3 items in the URL list. Then the paths to the images are:

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/io.makeroid.companion/files/image1.jpg
.../image2.jpg
.../image3.jpg

So where is the problem?

@sanatmalani

I edited android manifest file, and removed the code requesting user for permission to read, then Why is it still asking user read permission? I had removed that code!

The component is requesting falsely this permission (there is no way to workaround). If you remove READ permission from the Manifest, it is no longer possible to ask for this permission and you get an error message.

Note: A permission must be declared in the Manifest to be able to ask for it.

Does this work with kodular dynamic components as well? I tried and got an error.

Okay.

@sanatmalani

I tried and got an error.

Which error? And show all relevant blocks.

[sanatmalani]

error : Argument #2 (com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.util…) to ‘com.atomdeveloper.GlideImageLoader.GlideImageLoader.LoadImage(com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.Image,java.lang.String)’ has wrong type (com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.util.KodularDynamicUtil$ComponentReturnHelper) (expected: com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.Image)
Note: You will not see another error reported for 5 seconds.

[iamwsumit (Sumit Kumar)]

@sanatmalani your block are wrong the Glide Image Loader is taking imageview as a parameter but you are giving it a card view that causes the whole error

[sanatmalani]

I tried with image view as well still getting the same error

error: Argument #2 (com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.util…) to ‘com.atomdeveloper.GlideImageLoader.GlideImageLoader.LoadImage(com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.Image,java.lang.String)’ has wrong type (com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.util.KodularDynamicUtil$ComponentReturnHelper) (expected: com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.Image)

It need an simple image component for loading the image for url it doesn’t accept kodular dynamic image.
If you want to use the dynamic component with this extension then use the dynamic component extension by @yusufcihan

[sanatmalani]

does it accept paths from links?

I tried with the dynamic extension you mentioned. Still getting error. The operation select list item cannot accept the arguments: , [https://ww.example.com/image.png], [2],

[sanatmalani]

[iamwsumit (Sumit Kumar)]

@sanatmalani
