Picasso won't load Google Static Map
android, picasso
Solution
Picasso appears to expect a URL-encoded URL. This means that the values of form variables need to be URL-encoded, the way they would if this were a submitted HTML form.
Alphanumeric characters do not need escaping, which is why most of your URL is fine. However, the `markers` parameter contains special characters, particularly that `|`, which need to be converted into URL-encoded values.
If you were programmatically generating the URL by pieces, you might use `URLEncoder` and `encode()` to handle this conversion for you.
Problem
I'm trying to load an static map using this url: ``` http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=43.137022,13.067162&zoom=16&size=600x400&maptype=roadmap&sensor=true&markers=color:blue|43.137022,13.067162 ``` I'm doing it with Square's `Picasso`, but it fails to load. With some tests I've to the conclusion that the char `|` is the one messing up Picasso. Any idea on how to overcome this issue?
