Yes? You cannot start a load for a destroyed activity. There's no better way of saying it. If the activity is destroyed it won't ever be visible again, the user can't see your image, so there's no point in even trying to start to download it. See #803 for more discussion.

Getting Same Problem.

.... crash , why not log ?

Same problem. Why is it a crash and not just log message?

I got the same problem, how to stop this crash? i am using gradle 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'

Hi @ALL. the problem occurs most when your activity is recreated and the context that's in Glide is an old one. for instance when you have a CustomAdapter(ArrayList list, Context context), and in MainActivity or Fragment recreation, you're not passing the new context to the adapter. Glide then tells you that the context i'm using does no more exist. I hope you understood that. whoever needs a debug can invite me to contribute in his project.

What is a workaround for this issue?

I fixed this by using getApplicationContext()

Can you please provide an effective alternative then?

Guys, read the duplicate issue; particularly: Dec 10-14.

That looks like a better workaround than app-context, especially in @neonwarge04's case (why did you remove your comment? [it was about cancelling retrofit calls, but still getting the crash])

Will check it out. Thank you! :)

Please use Glide.with(getApplicationContext()) instead of Glide.with(this)

Please don't use application context, use Glide.with(this) in onCreate to get the best context for resource management and use dependency injection to pass the RequestManager around. You don't even need to check for dying activities and stuff. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/32887693

I came up with this solution:

private fun RequestManager.syncWithLifecycleOwner(view: View): RequestManager {

    val syncRequest = object : DefaultLifecycleObserver {
        override fun onStart(owner: LifecycleOwner) = onStart()
        override fun onStop(owner: LifecycleOwner) = onStop()
        override fun onDestroy(owner: LifecycleOwner) {
            onDestroy()
            owner.lifecycle.removeObserver(this)
        }
    }

    view.findViewTreeLifecycleOwner()?.lifecycle?.addObserver(syncRequest)

    return this
}

You then can simply call:

fun ImageView.loadUrl(url: String) = Glide.with(this).syncWithLifecycleOwner(this).into(this)

findViewTreeLifecycleOwner() is present in AndroidX Lifecycle lib. It provides the Activity or the Fragment View's lifecycle this specific ImageView is attached to.
