Load large images with Picasso and custom Transform object

I found a solution..

In my Transform object I needed to scale the image (keeping aspect ratio) to 1024 x 768 max.

Transform object was never called unless I call .resize(width, height) to resample down the image.

For keeping aspect ratio and using resize I call .centerInside(). This way image will be scaled resample to fit width, height).

The value that I give to .resize(width, height) is Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(1024 * 768)).
This way I’m sure to have an image higher enough for my custom Transform object, and also avoid Out Of Memory exception

Update: Full example

Following this example you will get a image that fits inside MAX_WIDTH and MAX_HEIGHT bounds (keeping aspect ratio)

private static final int MAX_WIDTH = 1024;
private static final int MAX_HEIGHT = 768;

int size = (int) Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(MAX_WIDTH * MAX_HEIGHT));

// Loads given image
Picasso.with(imageView.getContext())
    .load(imagePath)
    .transform(new BitmapTransform(MAX_WIDTH, MAX_HEIGHT))
    .skipMemoryCache()
    .resize(size, size)
    .centerInside()
    .into(imageView);

And this is my custom BitmapTransform class:

import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import com.squareup.picasso.Transformation;

/**
 * Transformate the loaded image to avoid OutOfMemoryException
 */
public class BitmapTransform implements Transformation {

    private final int maxWidth;
    private final int maxHeight;

    public BitmapTransform(int maxWidth, int maxHeight) {
        this.maxWidth = maxWidth;
        this.maxHeight = maxHeight;
    }

    @Override
    public Bitmap transform(Bitmap source) {
        int targetWidth, targetHeight;
        double aspectRatio;

        if (source.getWidth() > source.getHeight()) {
            targetWidth = maxWidth;
            aspectRatio = (double) source.getHeight() / (double) source.getWidth();
            targetHeight = (int) (targetWidth * aspectRatio);
        } else {
            targetHeight = maxHeight;
            aspectRatio = (double) source.getWidth() / (double) source.getHeight();
            targetWidth = (int) (targetHeight * aspectRatio);
        }

        Bitmap result = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(source, targetWidth, targetHeight, false);
        if (result != source) {
            source.recycle();
        }
        return result;
    }

    @Override
    public String key() {
        return maxWidth + "x" + maxHeight;
    }

}
