What is Picasso? Does it mean like loading animation for the image?

Picasso is an image loading and caching library.It does most of the work from its own and is very easy to use so it is best for new developers.

Unfortunately it does not support Gif loading.

Caching and transformation options.
Image loading libraries are not meant to be used for small size images.
They are used to dynamically load images.
It is similar to Glide, another same kind of library.

I see that the image loaded with Picasso is very blurry.

Therefore, it would be worth showing how the extension works in the sample aia file, so that you can see where it is superior to the image component. To make it easy to see when it is better to apply the extension and when the image component. After that, thanks for expanding and expanding your list of very useful extensions.

Because Vertical Arrangement != Image :sweat_smile:

How is it better than Image component?

  • does not blocks UI
  • caches image for future use
  • gives options for transformation
  • provides callbacks for image loading (Success and ErrorOccurred events)
  • options for placeholder and error images (useful for thumbnails)
  • works with all view components
