Fresco image not visible in Recyler View on Android Jellybean devices


While loading image a thin line appears and the image is not visible while using fresco in a RecyclerView on Android Jellybean devices but the same works on KitKat+ devices.

Samsung - 4.1.1 - API 16 - 768 X 1280

Loading Image Using Fresco

SamsungGalaxyNote2 - 4.3 - API 18 - 720 X 1280

enter image description here

NOTE : Have tested in multiple devices and the scenario is the same

This is the way we are using it in the library

            if (newsModelStoreList.get(position-1).getImageUrl() != null) {
            String imageUrl = newsModelStoreList.get(position-1).getImageUrl();
            String extension=".jpg";
            try {
                extension = imageUrl.substring(imageUrl.lastIndexOf("."));
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {

            }

            Log.d("extension: ",extension);
            if(extension.equals(".gif")) {
                Log.d("Detected Gif: ", "Starting gif controller");
                DraweeController controller = Fresco.newDraweeControllerBuilder()
                        .setUri(Uri.parse(imageUrl))
                        .setAutoPlayAnimations(true)
                .build();
                myHolder.newsImage.setController(controller);

            }
            else
            {
                myHolder.newsImage.setImageURI(Uri.parse(imageUrl));
            }

        }

I AM 100% SURE THAT URL IS AVAILABLE AND IS WORKING ON 4.4+ DEVICES

This is the news_layout.xml which gets inflated

SimpleDraweeView is used here ...

        <com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:visibility="visible"
            android:adjustViewBounds="true"
            android:id="@+id/newsImage"/>

Solution

  • Guesses as to what you are doing wrong:

    • You are using wrap_content. Fresco does not support this unless you also supply a fresco:viewAspectRatio. See the guide to Drawees and the longer explanation about wrap_content.
    • You are using android:scaleType. This has no effect on SimpleDraweeViews. You need to use fresco:actualImageScaleType. Also be sure that fitXY is really what you want; this does not preserve the aspect ratio. See the documentation on scale types.
