Glide : get cached file location in Android/Java

Question

I am using the Glide to display images in my app. Now I want to know the location where the Glide is storing the cached images downloaded from the urls.

I am using below code to display image.

Glide.with(mContext)
            .load(mData.get(position).getImage())
            .centerCrop()
            .override(300, 300)
            .placeholder(R.drawable.default_small)
            .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE)
            .into(holder.ivCapturedImage);

I don't about that but it's based on how Glide set keys for caching, and please flag the comment so other people would know about it, or is it better to set it as an answer? — masoud vali, Nov 21 '16 at 07:50

This is one available method if you are using Glide 4.8.0 or higher

Kotlin:

val file: File = Glide.with(activity).asFile().load(url).submit().get()
val path: String = file.path

Java:

File file = Glide.with(activity).asFile().load(url).submit().get();
String path = file.getPath();

Then you can get a path looks like

/data/user/0/{package_name}/cache/image_manager_disk_cache/64c0af382f0a4b41c5dd210a3e945283d91c93b1938ee546f00b9ded701a7e40.0

Can you please answer in Java? – Priyanka Singh Jun 28 '20 at 10:59
@PriyankaSingh Added Java version. Note that the try catch statement is excluded to make the code look concise. – Joonsoo Jul 02 '20 at 07:14

 private String getImgCachePath(String url) {
    FutureTarget<File> futureTarget = Glide.with(getBaseContext()).load(url).downloadOnly(100, 100);
    try {
        File file = futureTarget.get();
        String path = file.getAbsolutePath();
        return path;
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ExecutionException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

the parameter url is network address of the picture，the 100,100 is the width and height of the cached picture ,you can change them according to your needs. Then，The path is the cache path.

Nice catch! but i am already using above code (See the updated question) to display image. So your answer would re-download the image again! – android_griezmann Nov 21 '16 at 08:10

Nice! But this approach causes Glide to throw `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: YOu must call this method on a background thread` Please how can I solve it? – Moz Apr 02 '21 at 06:35

  Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                FutureTarget<File> futureTarget = Glide.with(context).load(vLink).downloadOnly(100,100);
                try {
                    File file = futureTarget.get();
                    String path = file.getAbsolutePath();
                    System.out.println("Path video  = "+path +"File  = "+file);
                    if (path != null) {
                        Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(path);
                        Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                        shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "shareMessage");
                        shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
                        shareIntent.setType("video/*");
                        context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Image.."));
                    } else {
                        System.out.println("Image Uri = " + path + "\nResource = " + resource);
                    }
                } catch (ExecutionException | InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            }
        };
        new Thread(runnable).start();
