Image flickering when Glide loads it

Question

I have a list of image views and some of them will be frequently updated with a fixed url. By appending a timestamp query parameter in the end of the url. It works, but I found when it updates it will also clear the current content. Any way to prevent this?

// the one needed to update with timestamp appended
image += "?"+String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis());
Glide.with(mContext.getApplicationContext())
        .load(image)
        .error(R.drawable.default_avatar)
        .centerCrop()
        .crossFade()
        .into(((VideoViewHolder) holder).img);

// the others don't need to update
Glide.with(mContext.getApplicationContext())
        .load(image)
        .error(R.drawable.default_avatar)
        .centerCrop()
        .crossFade()
        .into(((VideoViewHolder) holder).img);

Note that the others without timestamp appended are all good.

Try this

Glide
.with(context)
.load(filepath)
.asBitmap()
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)
.skipMemoryCache(true)
.dontAnimate()
.into(new SimpleTarget<Bitmap>() {

        @Override
        public void onResourceReady(Bitmap arg0, GlideAnimation<? super Bitmap> arg1) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            holder.mItemView.setImageBitmap(arg0);
        }
    });

If you're using Glide 3.x and wish to directly display the image without the small crossfade effect, call .dontAnimate() on the Glide request builder: for more read this : Glide — Placeholders & Fade Animations

Happy coding!!
