Images from url not loaded on mobile data connection

Question

I am using Glide to load images from url onto an ImageView in a RecyclerView adapter. Everything works fine when a user is connected to the internet on wifi. However, when their connection is on mobile data, Glide throws an exception:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: "http://......png" at com.android.okhttp.internal.huc.HttpURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream()

Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried using https but still the same issue persists. Also tried almost all other image loading libraries including UniversalImageLoader, Fresco, Picasso but still the same error persists

try to hit that image URL with GET request, may be while you are loading the resource was not ready — yashkal, Sep 18 '19 at 07:21
Apparently when I try to load the url on a device browser its a 504 error but on a desktop browser it works. — Don Louis, Sep 18 '19 at 07:24
GlideApp.with(context) .load(url) .apply(new RequestOptions().placeholder(circularProgressDrawable)) .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL) .into(holder.mWallpaper); — Don Louis, Sep 18 '19 at 07:28
`its a 504 error` means that it is not your problem. You can do nothing about it. — Vladyslav Matviienko, Sep 18 '19 at 07:32
could be have an idea as to why the url loads the image successfully when i switch to wifi?, even on a device browser? — Don Louis, Sep 18 '19 at 07:34
looks like using a bare IP adress instead of an equivalent domain name was the problem — Don Louis, Sep 18 '19 at 11:39

Try to put this line in AndroidManifest.xml:

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

Probably WiFi is working globally on device, while mobile data is some sort of custom network state. in this tutorial (at FutureStud.io) use of Glide 4.x is shown. You can check connection from there and probably advance your debugging process, although the uses-permission snippet should work.

Please use an async image loading and caching library similar to koush/ion Check this

Ion.with(context)
.load("http://example.com/image.png")
.withBitmap()
.placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder_image)
.error(R.drawable.error_image)
.animateLoad(spinAnimation)
.animateIn(fadeInAnimation)
.intoImageView(imageView);

It's easy for you to implement and cache it too. remember to add neccersery manifest permissions. Hope you this helps!! Cheers

dependencies {
  implement 'com.koushikdutta.ion:ion:2.+'
}

add this to your dependencies.

Thanks for the help, I tried it, url still won't work. – Don Louis Sep 18 '19 at 08:00
While this is nice clean code, this seems unrelated to the problem. – Yuri Schimke Feb 22 '21 at 09:10
