I'm developing an app which should be able to pre-download all images used from within the dataset so that the app can function fully offline.
It should download about 600 images of each 500KB (~300 MB in total).
For this I'd want to loop through all url's and execute Picasso fetch() method. This will fetch all images, which is great.
The only thing I'm missing is a way to see what the progress is of all the image downloads. Is there any way to see the progress of the download queue of Picasso? This way I can notify the user when the downloads are done, and inform what the current status is.
What I've found so far:
- I can use a Target to load the image into. Only this will also decode to an Bitmap, which is not yet required and takes too much resources.
- I can somehow read the cache folder to check the progress. But I think this is not a clean way...
