ImageView Not Updating After AsyncTask Completion in RecyclerView Adapter
I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm encountering a frustrating issue where an ImageView in my RecyclerView doesn't update its content after an AsyncTask completes. I'm using the following setup: ```kotlin class MyAdapter(private val images: List<String>) : RecyclerView.Adapter<MyAdapter.ViewHolder>() { override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): ViewHolder { val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.item_image, parent, false) return ViewHolder(view) } override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: ViewHolder, position: Int) { holder.bind(images[position]) } override fun getItemCount() = images.size inner class ViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) { private val imageView: ImageView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageView) fun bind(imageUrl: String) { // Start AsyncTask to load image LoadImageTask(imageView).execute(imageUrl) } } } class LoadImageTask(val imageView: ImageView) : AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap>() { override fun doInBackground(vararg params: String?): Bitmap? { val url = params[0] ?: return null return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(URL(url).openConnection().getInputStream()) } override fun onPostExecute(result: Bitmap?) { if (result != null) { imageView.setImageBitmap(result) } else { Log.e("LoadImageTask", "Failed to load image") } } } ``` The issue arises when I scroll the RecyclerView rapidly after loading images. Some ImageViews don't seem to update, and I sometimes see old images or a missing image (the placeholder remains). I attempted using `notifyDataSetChanged()` after the AsyncTask completes, but it didn't resolve the issue. Additionally, the images are being loaded from a URL, and I verified that the URLs are correct and accessible. I also considered using Glide or Picasso for image loading but wanted to understand why my current approach is failing first. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can provide insights on why the ImageView might not be updating as expected when using AsyncTask in a RecyclerView? This is part of a larger API I'm building. Any ideas what could be causing this?
