Displaying in RGB_565, downloading in ARGB_8888

[redwarp]

I'm working on an app that uses Glide to display a lot of pictures, and it's awesome. Low memory, thanks to the default format that is RGB_565.
But at some point, I wanted to allow the user, after he clicks on a thumbnail, to send an image resized to 1000x1000 to a server.
I thought "oh great, Glide can do the resizing! I'll use Glide to load my url, then downloadOnly to my final size. That will get me a File, that I can use in a FileInputStream.

And it works! But the final result is, of course, in RGB_565 as well. And so far, I found no way to force Glide to use setDecodeFormat for only one operation.
It's either I setup the GlideModule for ARGB_8888, and that will be used everywhere in the app, or keep using RGB_565.

Is it possible to force Glide to use a decode format for one operation? (If not, it would be a great feature!)

Thanks in advance.

.asBitmap()
.format(DecodeFormat.PREFER_ARGB_8888)

I'm not sure how you used downloadOnly to resize the picture, that method is used to fill the SOURCE cache.

Consider this code which goes a step further than loading a Bitmap to memory:

Glide
    .with(this)
    .load(uri)
    .asBitmap()
    .toBytes(CompressFormat.JPEG, 80)
    .format(DecodeFormat.PREFER_ARGB_8888)
    .atMost()
    .override(1000, 1000)
    .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE)
    .skipMemoryCache(true)
    .into(new SimpleTarget<byte[]>() {
        @Override public void onLoadStarted(Drawable placeholder) {
            // maybe start spinning
        }
        @Override public void onResourceReady(byte[] resource, GlideAnimation<? super byte[]> ignore) {
            // start async task to save or send
        }
        @Override public void onLoadFailed(Exception ex, Drawable ignore) {
            // tell the user that you're sorry
        }
    })
;

Whaou thanks for the answer, you are quite awesome! I'll try that tomorrow!
If I want to use it synchronously, can I, like usual, get a Future, and call .get() on it?

If by "usual" you mean .into(1000, 1000).get() then yes. Just make sure you're not blocking the UI thread with Future.get(). I think you can skip override in this case because you're giving a size anyway for the target.
