Picasso Load Image Failed and App Crashing

Question

I'm new to Android development, I'm trying to load image from url using Picasso, but it failed when I navigate to the Picasso loading activity.

Below is the code that i use for:

//Declaring Variable
ImageView ImageView1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.forthImage);
Context context = this;

//In onCreate()
Picasso.with(context).load("http://postimg.org/image/wjidfl5pd/").into(ImageView1);

In my XML:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/forthImage"
    android:layout_width="150dp"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/thirdImage"
    />

And my catLog:

I don't know what reason cause it failed. I've downloaded the picasso library from "http://square.github.io/picasso/", and added inside my library folder. Also, added INTERNET permission into my manifest file.

Any idea guys??

Answer 1

From what I see, you spent a reference to the instance of the activity Context context = this; outside Oncreat method (), so be getting NullPointerException

Here

Picasso.with(context).load("http://postimg.org/image/wjidfl5pd/").into(ImageView1);

the context variable is null

Change this:

//Declaring Variable
ImageView ImageView1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.forthImage);
Context context = this;

By:

//In onCreate()  

ImageView ImageView1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.forthImage);  
Picasso.with(this).load("http://postimg.org/image/wjidfl5pd/").into(ImageView1);

Answer 2

final Target mTarget = new Target() {
        @Override
        public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom loadedFrom) {
            Log.d("DEBUG", "onBitmapLoaded");
            progress_bar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            cropImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
        }

        @Override
        public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable drawable) {
            Log.d("DEBUG", "onBitmapFailed");
        }

        @Override
        public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable drawable) {
            Log.d("DEBUG", "onPrepareLoad");
        }
    };
    Picasso.with(this).load(wallpaper.getMain_image()).into(mTarget);
    cropImageView.setTag(mTarget);

Note:cropImageView is ImageView
