Picasso won't load image (Android)

Question

I'm trying to load image to ImageView using Picasso. The most basic stuff.

I know it's straightforward and I'm pretty sure I did it properly but it wouldn't work for some reason. No photo is shown in my app. I have found someone having the same issue (this, for example, Android - Picasso in Android Studio doesn't load) and my code is almost exactly the same as the fixed version of theirs, but it still wouldn't work.

Here is my code.

In MainActivity.java, I have

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    if(savedInstanceState == null) {
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .add(R.id.container, new MyFragment())
                .commit();
    }

And in MyFragment.java, I have

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
    ImageView image = (ImageView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.movie_image);
    Picasso.with(getActivity()).load(Uri.parse("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png")).into(image);

    return rootView;
}

fragment_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:orientation="vertical"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/movie_image" />

</FrameLayout>

Manifest file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.admin.popmovies">

   <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>

    <user-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

</manifest>

build.gradle (module:app)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.admin.popmovies"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral();
}

Any suggestion would be appreciated!

EDIT: Logcat I got some messages in Logcat from Picasso previously, but I checked again and now there is no log from Picasso. It looked exactly like in the other thread that has the same issue which looks like this..

02-23 16:41:36.857  28865-28865/com.example.enrico.prova D/Picasso﹕ Main        created      [R1] Request{http://www.online-image-editor.com//styles/2014/images/example_image.png}

UPDATE:
I figured it out! It was because target sdk version in my app was 23, while my phone is using KitKat. When I changed dependency in gradle to compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2'instead of compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1', it works.

Thanks again for all suggestion!

Answer 1

I noticed that when I was using an emulator I could not see the image and solved it using a simple fix.

Make sure you use https instead of http

Answer 2

The main error is in your manifest file.

You should correct :

<user-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

To:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

And all the pictures will work!
