Description

There should be an optionally available way of displaying an indicator on the target which tells you any feasible combination of these:

  • it was downloaded from the network
  • it was loaded from disk cache
  • it was loaded from memory cache
  • it was just put into disk cache
  • it was just put into memory cache
  • it's a thumbnail
  • it's a placeholder

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore Glide's request lifecycle and cache layers to identify where to hook into to display a visual indicator of the resource source. Consider using a custom RequestListener or modifying the Target to overlay an icon or text on the image view.
