Glide how to upload a file (just a file)?

Question

Android

There is a Glide library for loading images and working with them, everything works great, but I can’t figure out (and can this be done or not?) how to load a file on a device using it without .into(imageView) ?

Answer 1

In any case, the file is downloaded to the device and stored in a special glide cache.
It's just hard to get it out of there. glide itself does not provide any means for this.
You can simply upload the image file to disk and load this file through glide by uri.

Answer 2

Use custom target like
