A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I’m trying to get some thoughts on which library/framework to use, in my next *Android* project, for HTTP and image download and plays well with Kotlin.

OkHttp is standard in HTTP, Retrofit — in REST. For image downloading I prefer Picasso, but many people use Glide.

So, you’d use all those in conjunction. Great to know.

Yes, Retrofit depends on OkHttp, and Picasso has an option to use OkHttp (OkHttp3Downloader). So, they can use the same cache and thread pool.

Thanks for the tips Mike :slightly_smiling_face:

Not just quite used to the Android ecosystem coming from an iOS background where I handle most of the networking with `dataTask` :slightly_smiling_face:
