Advanced Usage

If you need to load your image in something other than an ImageView, like the background of a LinearLayout for example, you can do it by using the FireCoil singleton:

val linearLayout: LinearLayout = ...

FireCoil.load(this, storageRef) {
    target { drawable ->
        linearLayout.background = drawable
    }
}

As mentioned on the Coil Docs:

Transformations allow you to modify the pixel data of an image before the Drawable is returned from the request.

You can use one of the 4 transformations packed with Coil, like circle crop:

imageView.load(storageRef) {
    transformations(CircleCropTransformation())
}

Coil also provides ImageLoader.get(), which is a suspend function, so you can call it from another suspend function or a Coroutine Builder like launch:

launch {
    val result = FireCoil.get(storageRef) {
        size(width, height)
    }
    when (result) {
        is SuccessResult -> {
            val drawable = result.drawable
            // Use the drawable
        }
        is ErrorResult -> {
            val throwable = result.throwable
            // Handle the error
        }
    }
}
