Answer 1

You should use the method fit() in Picasso, it's measuring the dimensions of the target ImageView and internally uses resize() to reduce the image size to the dimensions of the ImageView.

The advantage is that the image is at the lowest possible resolution, without affecting its quality. A lower resolution means less data to be hold in the cache.

Picasso.with(context).load(rowItem.getProductImages().get(0)).fit().into(holder.productImageView);

If you still have the OOM, remove the cache using the memory policy.

Picasso.with(context).load(rowItem.getProductImages().get(0)).memoryPolicy(MemoryPolicy.NO_CACHE).fit().into(holder.productImageView);
