Optimize placeholder and error

See original GitHub issue

I use the following syntax to set both the placeholder and an error:

                                    placeholder(drawable)
                                    error(drawable)

Note that they are the same. What happens though is the following:

Placeholder is set
Loading of URL fails thus setting the error drawable WHICH Is the same causing the UI to refresh

Any way we can avoid setting the drawable again if they’re the same? That would make for a nicer experience.

Yes - I’ve actually seen a similar behaviour few years back with ImageView when images were set in quick succession. Anyway, that’s a whole different matter that I’ll investigate myself - since you feel the feature request is not warranted here, I’ll go ahead and close it.

As always, thanks for being informative and friendly!

Hmm the image should redraw synchronously as part of the next layout pass and avoid flickering. Just to confirm you’re loading into an ImageView using imageView.load(url)?
