Android Tutorial => Loading an image

Example

ImageView

To load an image from a specified URL, Uri, resource id, or any other model into an ImageView:

ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
String yourUrl = "http://www.yoururl.com/image.png";

Glide.with(context)
    .load(yourUrl)
    .into(imageView);

For Uris, replace yourUrl with your Uri (content://media/external/images/1). For Drawables replace yourUrl with your resource id (R.drawable.image).

RecyclerView and ListView

In ListView or RecyclerView, you can use exactly the same lines:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {
    MyViewHolder myViewHolder = (MyViewHolder) viewHolder;
    String currentUrl = myUrls.get(position); 

    Glide.with(context)
        .load(currentUrl)
        .into(myViewHolder.imageView);
}

If you don't want to start a load in onBindViewHolder, make sure you clear() any ImageView Glide may be managing before modifying the ImageView:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int position) {
    MyViewHolder myViewHolder = (MyViewHolder) viewHolder;
    String currentUrl = myUrls.get(position); 

    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(currentUrl)) {
        Glide.clear(viewHolder.imageView);
        // Now that the view has been cleared, you can safely set your own resource
        viewHolder.imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.missing_image);
    } else {
        Glide.with(context)
            .load(currentUrl)
            .into(myViewHolder.imageView);
    }
}
