Images add much-needed context and visual flair to Android applications. Picasso allows for hassle-free image loading in your application—often in one line of code! Many common pitfalls of image loading on Android are handled automatically by Picasso: Handling ImageView recycling and download cancelation in an adapter. Complex image transformations with minimal memory use. Automatic memory and disk caching. Adapter re-use is automatically detected and the previous download canceled. Transform images to better fit into layouts and to reduce memory size. You can also specify custom transformations for more advanced effects. Picasso supports both download and error placeholders as optional features. Resources, assets, files, content providers are all supported as image sources. For development you can enable the display of a colored ribbon which indicates the image source.
