Load class into val with Picasso

I want to load a String out of a class to load it with picasso

val pic = String
    Picasso.get().load(User1::profileImageUrl).into(pic)

but the "load" gets a red line underneath it and it doesnt work. here you can see my class 

    class User1(val uid: String, val username: String, val profileImageUrl: String)

so later I want to use that string with glide like this

Glide.with(applicationContext).load(personPhotoUrl)
                    .thumbnail(0.3f)
                    .apply(RequestOptions.circleCropTransform())
                    .into(profilepicture!!)

any Ideas?

Solution

  • I am not familiar with Picasso, but from javadoc load method takes String, Uri, File or resource id. You pass some kind of reflection reference on a property (if this construction makes sense at all).

    If you want create pic one time you should use an instance of user:

    val user : User1 = getUserSomewhere()
Picasso.get().load(user1.profileImageUrl).into(pic)

    Or you can make a method:

    fun loadUserProfileImage(user: User1, target: ImageView) {
    Picasso.get().load(user1.profileImageUrl).into(target)
}

    Also underneath red line tells you that there is an error and it has a message of what's wrong.)

    Also this: val pic = String is not correct, at least in your case. pic here is of type StringCompanionObject.
