Cannot load image which has % in url with picasso

Question

I am using Picasso v2.5.2 in my project. It works fine, however, in some cases there is a % character in the url and in such cases Picasso throws an error.

String url = "http://dev.api.getmyparking.com:5000/api/v1/Containers/gmp-booking-tickets/download/AVGA3JJ%25UAB.png"; 
Picasso picasso = new Picasso.Builder(this).listener(new Picasso.Listener() {
            @Override
            public void onImageLoadFailed(Picasso picasso, Uri uri, Exception exception) {
                exception.printStackTrace();
            }
        }).build();
picasso.setLoggingEnabled(true);
picasso.load(url).placeholder(R.drawable.parking_placeholder).error(R.drawable.icn_rupee).into(mIvTicket);

The above code gives the following error:

Encoding the URL seems to be a solution, however, I encoded the url using Uri.encode and then supplied the encoded string to Picasso but that does not work as well.

    String url = "http://dev.api.getmyparking.com:5000/api/v1/Containers/gmp-booking-tickets/download/AVGA3JJ%25UAB.png"; 
    String urlEncoded = Uri.encode(url);
            Picasso picasso = new Picasso.Builder(this).listener(new Picasso.Listener() {
                @Override
                public void onImageLoadFailed(Picasso picasso, Uri uri, Exception exception) {
                    exception.printStackTrace();
                }
            }).build();
       picasso.setLoggingEnabled(true);     
picasso.load(urlEncoded).placeholder(R.drawable.parking_placeholder).error(R.drawable.icn_rupee).into(mIvTicket);

The above code gives the following error

Do not `URLEncode` the whole URL. Encode only parts of it. – K Neeraj Lal Nov 07 '16 at 12:07 — K Neeraj Lal, Nov 07 '16 at 12:07

Try this,

String urlStr = "http://dev.api.getmyparking.com:5000/api/v1/Containers/gmp-booking-tickets/download/AVGA3JJ%25UAB.png";
String url = Uri.parse(urlStr)
                .buildUpon()
                .build()
                .toString();

instead of passing url with %25 you can use space and try this method

String url1 = url.replaceAll(" ", "%25");
Picasso.with(context).load(url1).into(mIvTicket);

May be this will work for you because i am doing like this only.

Use URLEncoder to encode %

String url = "http://dev.api.getmyparking.com:5000/api/v1/Containers/gmp-booking-tickets/download/AVGA3JJ%25UAB.png";
String encodedUrl = URLEncoder.encode(url, "utf-8");
