I think you don't need to use Context anymore. Someone please confirm.

I think the idea is to not need context but when trying to load a drawable into a 'Target' object, it throws an exception that context is null =/

[rosariopfernandes]

You're right @c0dehunter Context is not used anymore.

@vshivam can you paste here the full logcat from the exception you're getting?

[vshivam]

@rosariopfernandes This is it really:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: context == null at com.squareup.picasso.Picasso.get(Picasso.java:681)

I believe Picasso can't get the context when you call it from a ViewHolder.
A workaround would be declaring and initializing userImageView in your ViewHolder class. This way you may remove your setUserImage() method.
And in your adapter you can simply call:

Picasso.get().load(model.getThumb_image()).placeholder(R.drawable.profile).into(viewHolder.userImageView);

@rosariopfernandes In my case, the load method is called in the onBindViewHolder method of a RecyclerView Adapter. The bitmap is loaded into a Target object so there is no ImageView involved.

This is what the call looks like:

Picasso.get().load(buttonImageURL).into(target);

Hi , i got this problem too, exception shows context == null;
and i think it's occured after i update androidX; before i update its working fine.
Did you resolve this problem? ^.^

[vshivam]

@bladeofgod I got rid of Picasso and wrote my own thing instead.

Only really needed it for a very small use.

If you get back to Picasso 2.5.2 you can use the method .with() and pass a context.

@rosariopfernandes This is it really:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: context == null at com.squareup.picasso.Picasso.get(Picasso.java:681)

add this line "Picasso.setSingletonInstance(new Picasso.Builder(this).build());" at your Application.java file in onCreate.

Can confirm, initializing the Picasso in application class did the trick:
