Is downloadOnly synchronous or asynchronous in Android Glide?

Consider the following line of code:

Glide.with(getContext()).downloadOnly().load(some_uri).submit();

Question 1) Is the above synchronous or asynchronous?

Question 2) If the above is synchronous, then how do I make it asynchronous?

Question 3) If the above is asynchronous, then how do I make it synchronous?

The question refers specifically to the Glide version 4 API.

Solution

  • Answering my own question.

    Glide.with(getContext()).downloadOnly().load(some_uri).submit();

    is asynchronous.

    Glide.with(getContext()).downloadOnly().load(some_uri).submit().get();

    is synchronous.
