android:load svg file from web and show it on image view

Question

I want to load a svg file from the web and show this file in an ImageView. For non vector images I use the Picasso library.

Is it possible to use this library for svg files as well?
Is there any way to load svg files from the web and show it in an ImageView?
I use the svg-android library to show svg files but i don't know how to get svg images from the web all the examples for this library use local files.

Update: For newer version please checkout the Glide Samples (https://github.com/bumptech/glide/tree/master/samples/svg)

You can use Glide (https://github.com/bumptech/glide/tree/v3.6.0) and AndroidSVG (https://bitbucket.org/paullebeau/androidsvg).

There is also a sample from Glide: https://github.com/bumptech/glide/tree/v3.6.0/samples/svg/src/main/java/com/bumptech/svgsample/app

Setup GenericRequestBuilder

requestBuilder = Glide.with(mActivity)     .using(Glide.buildStreamModelLoader(Uri.class, mActivity), InputStream.class)             .from(Uri.class)             .as(SVG.class)             .transcode(new SvgDrawableTranscoder(), PictureDrawable.class)             .sourceEncoder(new StreamEncoder())             .cacheDecoder(new FileToStreamDecoder<SVG>(new SvgDecoder()))             .decoder(new SvgDecoder())                     .placeholder(R.drawable.ic_facebook)                     .error(R.drawable.ic_web)             .animate(android.R.anim.fade_in)             .listener(new SvgSoftwareLayerSetter<Uri>()); 

Use RequestBuilder with uri

Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics#/media/File:SVG_logo.svg");             requestBuilder                     .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE)                             // SVG cannot be serialized so it's not worth to cache it                     .load(uri)                     .into(mImageView);
