android - GlideApp not found using LibraryGlideModule (Glide 4)

Question

Using Glide 4 in combination with okhttp3 and a LibraryGlideModule:

@GlideModule
public final class MyGlideModule extends LibraryGlideModule {

    @Override
    public void registerComponents(Context context, Glide glide, Registry registry) {
        registry.replace(GlideUrl.class, InputStream.class, new OkHttpUrlLoader.Factory());
    }
}

The GlideApp class is not generated when building, while it is when I extend AppGlideModule. Using LibraryGlideModule there seems to be no generated Glide classes at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Glide v4 uses an annotation processor to generate an API. This allows applications to extend Glide’s API and include components provided by integration libraries.

To generate the GlideApp api in your Android Project, do the following:

In your Android Studio:

• Click on the "Build" menu
• Click "Make Module " to generate the project-specific GlideApp Class.
• If that doesn't work, rebuild the project using "Make Project"
