Use Picasso to get a callback with a Bitmap

Question

I'm using Picasso to download images for my app.

I'm in a situation where I need to access the Bitmap first before it's loaded into the ImageView. The presence of the Downloader.Response class seems to suggest this is possible, but I can't find any use examples. I don't want to write a bunch more code to asynchronously handle this one particular case if it's possible to do with Picasso.

Can anyone show me how to do it?

Found the answer on github in case anyone is wondering:

private Target target = new Target() {
      @Override
      public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {
      }

      @Override
      public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable errorDrawable) {
      }

      @Override
      public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable placeHolderDrawable) {
      }
}

private void someMethod() {
   Picasso.with(this).load("url").into(target);
}

@Override 
public void onDestroy() {  // could be in onPause or onStop
   Picasso.with(this).cancelRequest(target);
   super.onDestroy();
}

The post recommends not using an anonymous callback, and instead using an instance variable for target.
