Set background resource using Picasso

Question

I know Picasso is an awesome library to play with images.

Picasso.with(context).load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView);

with this code i can load an image to an image view.

But is it possible to set a background resource , using Picasso ?

Answer 1

The Javadoc for Picasso's RequestCreator class has the following example:

public class ProfileView extends FrameLayout implements Target {
    @Override 
    public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, LoadedFrom from) {
        setBackgroundDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(bitmap));
    }

    @Override public void onBitmapFailed() {
        setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.profile_error);
    }
}

Answer 2

I just had a work around with the Picasso library, I was attempting to set the image as a background as well. Picasso library made it very easy to do this, there is method by name "FIT()" which will do this job for you.

The one magic line from Picasso is

 Picasso.with(context).load(mImageURLS.get(position))
                .fit().placeholder(R.drawable.rtrt).into(mImageDownloader);

.fit() does the trick, thanks.
