Remove image from cache in Glide library

by

This is how I solved this problem.

Method 1: When the URL changes whenever image changes

Glide.with(DemoActivity.this)
    .load(Uri.parse("file://" + imagePath))
    .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)
    .skipMemoryCache(true)
    .into(mImage);

diskCacheStrategy() can be used to handle the disk cache and you can skip the memory cache using skipMemoryCache() method.

Method 2: When URL doesn’t change, however, image changes

If your URL remains constant then you need to use Signature for image cache.

Glide.with(yourFragment)
     .load(yourFileDataModel)
     .signature(new StringSignature(yourVersionMetadata))
     .into(yourImageView);

Glide signature() offers you the capability to mix additional data with the cache key.

  • You can use MediaStoreSignature if you are fetching content from media store. MediaStoreSignature allows you to mix the date modified time, mime type, and orientation of a media store item into the cache key. These three attributes reliably catch edits and updates allowing you to cache media store thumbs.
  • You may StringSignature as well for content saved as Files to mix the file date modified time.
