Example Of Fresco Image Library in Android

Implement Dependency in app level build.gradle file.

implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:1.13.0'

1	implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:1.13.0'

You Must Declared Internet Permission in AndroidManifest.xml File.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

1	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Create activity_main.xml File Follow this code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.bhaumik.MainActivity">

    <com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView
        android:id="@+id/simple_draweeView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

tools:context="com.example.bhaumik.MainActivity">

<com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView

android:id="@+id/simple_draweeView"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

Create MainActivity.java File Follow this Code.

package com.example.bhaumik;

import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

import com.facebook.drawee.backends.pipeline.Fresco;
import com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Fresco.initialize(this);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        SimpleDraweeView simpleDraweeView = (SimpleDraweeView) findViewById(R.id.simple_draweeView);

        Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://tinypng.com/images/social/developer-api.jpg");
        simpleDraweeView.setImageURI(uri);
    }
}

package com.example.bhaumik;

import android.net.Uri;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.facebook.drawee.backends.pipeline.Fresco;

import com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

Fresco.initialize(this);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

SimpleDraweeView simpleDraweeView = (SimpleDraweeView) findViewById(R.id.simple_draweeView);

Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://tinypng.com/images/social/developer-api.jpg");

simpleDraweeView.setImageURI(uri);

}

In this Example of Implement Fresco Library Dependency and Initialize Fresco in the MainActvity.java. then create SimpleDraweeView is a Fresco Library Provider. in this view define image url then put the url and download image File from internet and store local storage and display Image.
