Is it possible to create a new picasso instance every time?

Question

Is it possible to create a new picasso file to load each image. For example, for example:

Picasso.with(context) .load(url) .placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder) .error(R.drawable.error) .centerInside( .tag(context) .into(holder.image); 

in getView() for listAdaptor . It does not create a new LruCache every time, which ultimately leads to OOM.

You can also pass Context to Picasso as an Activity Context :

 /** Start building a new {@link Picasso} instance. */ public Builder(Context context) { if (context == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Context must not be null."); } this.context = context.getApplicationContext(); } 

Answer 1

Picasso is designed as a singleton, so every new instance is not created every time.

This is the with() method:

 public static Picasso with(Context context) { if (singleton == null) { synchronized (Picasso.class) { if (singleton == null) { singleton = new Builder(context).build(); } } } return singleton; } 

Note that this is a static method, so you do not call with() on a specific instance, Picasso manages its own instance, which is only created if singleton is null .

There is no problem passing Activity as a context, because the Builder will use the ApplicationContext, which is a single, global Application object of the current process :

 public Builder(Context context) { if (context == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Context must not be null."); } this.context = context.getApplicationContext(); } 

As for the cache, the same one is used every time, since it is stored in singleton:

 public Picasso build() { // code removed for clarity if (cache == null) { cache = new LruCache(context); } // code removed for clarity return new Picasso(context, dispatcher, cache, listener, transformer, requestHandlers, stats, defaultBitmapConfig, indicatorsEnabled, loggingEnabled); } 

Answer 2

 Its not problem..You are not creating Object 

Picasso already a SingleTon Object

Here is the Picasso class Souce code

 public static Picasso with(Context context) { if (singleton == null) { synchronized (Picasso.class) { if (singleton == null) { singleton = new Builder(context).build(); } } } return singleton; }

Kalyan is right! Picasso is already singleton, so it uses the same instance for all uploaded images. It also means that you do not need this builder. you just call: "Picasso.with (context) .load (URL) .into (holder.image);" with the settings you want and that's it.
