Why Glide blink the item ImageView when notifydatasetchanged

Question

I am using Glide 3.7.0 with RecyclerView. The item view always blinks when refreshing (calling notifyDataSetChanged).

Here is my code:

Glide
  .with(context)
  .load(filepath)
  .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)
  .skipMemoryCache(true)
  .dontAnimate()
  .into(imageview);

When I use no cache, the ImageView has a null Bitmap when notifyDataSetChanged method is called and Glide hasn't finished loading the bitmap.

If I use the code below:

Glide
  .with(context)
  .load(filepath)
  .dontAnimate()
  .into(imageview);

Then the item ImageView does not blink anymore (using cache).

I want to update the item view dynamically, so I disable the glide cache.

Are there any solutions to solve this blink bug?

Thank you very much!

After my many tries, just use SimpleTarget solved my problem thank you!

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);
            }
        });

Update Glide from version 3 to 4 and setSupportsChangeAnimations(false) for RecyclerView solved problem for me

RecyclerView.ItemAnimator animator = recyclerView.getItemAnimator();
if (animator instanceof SimpleItemAnimator) {
    ((SimpleItemAnimator) animator).setSupportsChangeAnimations(false);
}

since SimpleTarget is deprecated try this solution:

GlideApp.with(SOMETHING)
                                .load("WHAT")
                                .dontAnimate()
                                .let { request ->
                                    if(imageView.drawable != null) {
                                        request.placeholder(imageView.drawable.constantState?.newDrawable()?.mutate())
                                    } else {
                                        request
                                    }
                                }
                                .into(imageView)

you can also create nice extension for drawable to make REAL copy:

import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable

fun Drawable.copy() = constantState?.newDrawable()?.mutate()
