Recyclerview painfully slow to load cached images form Picasso

Setting recyclerView parameters as below solved my stutter problem :

recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);recyclerView.setItemViewCacheSize(20);recyclerView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);recyclerView.setDrawingCacheQuality(View.DRAWING_CACHE_QUALITY_HIGH);

i hope it helps someone else too.

Use fit().

Picasso.with(context)        .load(file)        .fit()        .centerCrop()        .into(imageView);

The fit() actually resizes the image to fit into the imageView's bounds. This doesn't load the full image and smoothens the scrolling.

I mixed the answer from @ergunkocak and @Mangesh Ghotage, using this works great:

recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);recyclerView.setItemViewCacheSize(20);recyclerView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);

And this on every image:

Picasso.with(context)        .load(file)        .fit()        .into(imageView);

besides you could set Picasso to use a single instance like this:

Picasso.setSingletonInstance(picasso);

And finally enabling the cache indicators will give you clues on what's going wrong:

Picasso      .with(context)    .setIndicatorsEnabled(true);
