android - Glide load local image by Uri.

Question

I'm trying to use Glide to load an image from local storage with no success.

Glide.with(mContext)
    .load(pictureUri) // Uri of the picture
    .transform(new CircleTransform(..))
    .into(profileAvatar);

This is the error I get:

java.lang.Exception: Failed to load model: '/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20150831_180900.jpg'

While waiting for someone to respond, I tried to make a File instance from the Uri and load that. It works! Weird!

Glide.with(mContext)
    .load(new File(pictureUri.getPath())) // Uri of the picture
    .transform(new CircleTransform(..))
    .into(profileAvatar);
