Glide Image Caching library, can’t resolve the placeholder method

You might think that this is a problem or maybe the newest versions of Glide are missing some important features. Well, that not the case, you can still use the .placeholder() with the latest versions of Glide, you just have to add it as applied RequestOption in the method chain. Please have a look at the code below

package ke.co.potent_mshop.mshopmarket;

import android.content.Context;
import android.widget.ImageView;

import com.bumptech.glide.Glide;
import com.bumptech.glide.request.RequestOptions;

public class GlideTestingApplication {

    private void loadingTesting(Context context, ImageView imageView){
        Glide.with(context).load("image url").apply(new RequestOptions().placeholder(R.drawable.ic_launcher_background)).into(imageView);
    }

}
