Get context in xml for "onDraw" in a custom view

April 6, 2022

I want to load an image from url in onDraw method for the view preview. I tried to do this using Picasso. But, I get an error in the xml. This is the onDraw method.

@Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        this.canvas = canvas;
        Picasso.get()
                .load(currentUrl)
                .into(new Target() {
                    @Override
                    public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {
                        Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmap);
                        d.draw(canvas);
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onBitmapFailed(Exception e, Drawable errorDrawable) {
                        Paint paint = new Paint();
                        paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
                        canvas.drawText("Error to load",getWidth() / 2, getHeight() / 2,paint);
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable placeHolderDrawable) {

                    }
                });
    }

But, Picasso complains about no context to load the file from. This is the error:

And the text:
