I’m not sure what you mean by “live scanning”, what should that function do?

The closest thing you might get is allowing the image picker component to only upload from camera.

i mean live scanning is like selfie, if the employee login and select date then press button for take live picture using phone camera or webcam.

What would be done with the image?  
Are you expecting some sort of facial recognition, for example?

Okay.

Well, to answer your original question. Yes, this is possible using Glide.
