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 🙂
