Android Ion Cache Refresh


I'm using a specific url to obtain an image online, but the url itself automatically changes every few minutes. I'm using ION library from Here The problem I'm having is when I refresh the page, the page itself looks like it is refreshing but the exact same picture is appearing. I'm assuming its a cached image? If I reinstall the application, then it obtains the correct image again.

This is how I'm using ION where imageID2[position] is just a typical url to a jpg.

    Ion.with(imageView)
            .placeholder(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
            .error(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
            .load(imageId2[position]);

Is there anyway I can disable the cache or just make it refind the images again?


Solution

  • You can append a unique string to your url for example a current timestamp in order to force Ion to treat each request as unique.
