I'm using a specific url to obtain an image online, but the url itself automatically changes every few minutes. I'm using ION library from Here The problem I'm having is when I refresh the page, the page itself looks like it is refreshing but the exact same picture is appearing. I'm assuming its a cached image? If I reinstall the application, then it obtains the correct image again.
This is how I'm using ION where imageID2[position] is just a typical url to a jpg.
Ion.with(imageView)
.placeholder(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.error(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.load(imageId2[position]);
Is there anyway I can disable the cache or just make it refind the images again?
You can append a unique string to your url for example a current timestamp in order to force Ion to treat each request as unique.
Use .noCache() to bypass caches.
As per documentation here, use the "long" way to build an ImageView request so that you can add headers, noCache, etc.
Change your original request from this:
To this:
