Hello!! Relatively new to using Glide so this could possibly be user error as I’ve been working in desktop mode the entire time - upon opening my app via mobile, some cards load but a large portion of them don’t. Its random which ones choose not to load, so it can sometimes be ones that on a previous refresh worked.

All the images show as intended via desktop, and if I click on the card on mobile it will show it properly in the detailed view.

I’m trying to build a digital wardrobe for myself, so although I’ll probably use it primarily on desktop, being able to view things on mobile is just as important!!

Thank you so much

Are you uploading these images to Glide or referencing an external site?

Woah, thank you so much for the fast reply  
I originally built the table in coda, exported it as a csv and then had to re-add the images using image URL’s. Its all done inside the Glide tables but the images themselves are image URL’s which in Glide table show as an image

But where are the images stored? Where are the urls pointing to? The table doesn’t store the image. It only stores a url location for the image.

It’s pointing to an image URL from coda - “[https://codahosted.io/docs/rKIuzGxnr9/blobs/bl-bpOtmWJGgn/b7e3e3a90b12de652a38cac912533632c2690a955df040d69e6181dea75f490dae07b0869aafc811f5a89462b1c9e83ad890b6f5970a38c6e46693719752421203a0fadb7583aaa918fc67bf3cd0bfb163e8f2a284143ac0629b0bcbbb1df17e95057b50](https://codahosted.io/docs/rKIuzGxnr9/blobs/bl-bpOtmWJGgn/b7e3e3a90b12de652a38cac912533632c2690a955df040d69e6181dea75f490dae07b0869aafc811f5a89462b1c9e83ad890b6f5970a38c6e46693719752421203a0fadb7583aaa918fc67bf3cd0bfb163e8f2a284143ac0629b0bcbbb1df17e95057b50)” is one of the ones not loading on mobile

Coda may be rate limiting access to images so it only allows you to load a handful at a time. Hard to say. You would be a lot better off uploading those images into Glide’s storage.

How would I go about doing that? I have about 500 rows of data and don’t want to individually re-upload each image if thats what you mean. I’m curious as to why it’s working fine on desktop and loading as intended but mobile (even in desktop view) has these issues

It would have to be individually. You can do it through the data editor or add an image picker on your detail screen so you can open each item’s details, and upload a new image.

I don’t know why it’s working on your desktop. Possibly because all images are already caches from when you worked with coda, whereas your mobile device is possibly trying to recache the images.

All I know is that people have had issues in the past with other services, such as Google Drive because files it’s not designed to be a hosting service for external websites.

Okay I suspect this might actually be a bug of some sort - If I open it via incognito on mobile in chrome it works and shows everything. Open regularly in mobile firefox and it also works.

But regular mobile chrome doesn’t load correctly. I’ll boot up another device and see if that issue persists.

Confirmed to be working on another device but my main phone is just not loading some of the images. Can’t figure out why. Restarted phone, updated phone. I’ll see if I need to update chrome or reinstall it.

I take it back -

Issue only occurs when using chrome. Incognito bypasses the issue and loads as intended  
Issue persists in chrome on other peoples phones.

Seems to be something specifically with chrome’s cache? but magically works when using incognito
