ALESSANDRO_CRUGNOLA_CHANGELOG.md

Here's a list of changes I've made to the Picasso library

###Cache Added the possibility to use an external cache instance per request. Example:

// creating a cache object with 1MB max size
Cache cache = new LruCache( 1024*1024*1 );

// now create a new request which will use this cache object
Picasso.with( this )
	.load( file )
	.withCache( myCache )
	.into( imageView );

Remember to clear the cache when you don't need that anymore ( using cache.clear() )

###Generators Generators can be used to load images which cannot be loaded using the common scheme convention. There are different situations when you need to generate a Bitmap which is not directly related to a file or url or even a real bitmap resource. In this case you can use the scheme "custom.resource" with a Generator. A Generator is a simple interface with only one method:

public interface Generator {
	Bitmap decode( String path ) throws IOException;
}

So you can use a generator in this way:

Picasso.with(this)
	.load( Uri.parse( "custom.resource://" + file ) )
	.withGenerator( new Generator() {
	
		@Override
		public Bitmap decode( String path ) throws IOException {
			return whatever(path);
		}
	 } )
	.into( imageView );

###Resize Both the original Picasso methods resize and resizeDimen have been modified in the followings new methods:

public RequestCreator resizeDimen(int targetWidthResId, int targetHeightResId, boolean onlyIfBigger);
public RequestCreator resize(int targetWidth, int targetHeight, boolean onlyIfBigger);

basically you can pass an option to skip the resize operation if the loaded bitmap is smaller than the passed targetWidth and targetHeight

###BitmapFactory.Options

Picasso uses a default BitmapFactory.Options object, every time, to decode the required Bitmap. I've added a method withOptions in the RequestCreator which allow you to pass your own Options object which will be used to decode the image. Example:

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPreferredConfig = Config.RGB_565;

Picasso.with(this)
	.load(file)
	.withOptions(options)
	.into(imageView);

###Fade Time Added .fade(ms time) method in the RequestCreator class in order to let you change the fade in animation time. Usage:

Picasso.with(this)
	.load(file)
	.fade(500)
	.into(imageView);
