“Cannot draw recycled bitmaps” exception

I’ve music player app which interacts with RemoteControlClient. I need to load album cover image to display it in lock screen remote contol. I’m trying to use Piccasso to achieve this. I’ve written the following code:

private final Target artworkTarget = new Target() {
    @Override
    public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom loadedFrom) {
        remoteControlClient.editMetadata(false).putBitmap(RemoteControlClientCompat.MetadataEditorCompat.METADATA_KEY_ARTWORK,
                bitmap).apply();
    }

    @Override
    public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable drawable) {
        Log.e(Constants.LOG_TAG, "Artwork loading failed");
    }

    @Override
    public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable drawable) {
    }
};

...

private void playNextSong(int songPosition) {
    ...

    String artworkUrl = Constants.Urls.BASE_ARTWORK_URL + currentSong.getArtworkId();
    Picasso.with(this).load(artworkUrl).skipMemoryCache().into(artworkTarget);
    // Update the remote controls
    remoteControlClient.editMetadata(true)
                .putString(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_ARTIST, currentSong.getArtist().getName())
                .putString(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_ALBUM, currentSong.getAlbum().getName())
                .putString(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_TITLE, currentSong.getName())
                .apply();

   ...
   }

But sometimes I get ‘Cannot draw recycled bitmaps’ exception. Here is stacktrace:

I didn’t manage to find some steps to reproduce it, but if I remove skipMemoryCache application will crash every time I loading image.

Is something wrong with my code? Maybe I should use Picasso in some other way?

P.S. Picasso version 2.1.1

I also faced this issue. Why isn’t Picasso checking for recycling?

public Bitmap get() {
    ...
    if (bitmap.isRecycled()) {
        return bitmap.copy(bitmap.getConfig(), true);
    } else {
        return bitmap;
    }
}

@PaulWoitaschek This solution is perfect !!!
