Loading images from application assets with Glide library

I have switched my current project from Picasso to Glide. However, I cannot manage to load an image from the application assets. Is that even possible?

Sample code:

String assetPath = "file:///android_asset/flags/FR.jpg";
Glide.with(getContext())
            .load(Uri.parse(assetPath))
            .placeholder(missingFlagDrawable)
            .centerCrop()
            .crossFade()
            .into(flag);

I have also tried the load(String) method without success and I don't see a load method taking for instance an InputStream or a FileDescriptor I could have obtained with the AssetManager class.

That exact same code was working in Picasso.

Glide is working properly in the rest of the app and loading nicely remote images.

I prefer to put the images in raw directory instead of assets, then build de uri as follows:

fun setImageFromRaw(imageView: ImageView, rawId: Int) {
        val context = imageView.context
        val uri = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://" + context.packageName + "/" + rawId)
        GlideApp.with(context).load(uri).into(imageView)
    }

This option is based on what Glide's team has done in samples repository.

Works with Glide.with(xxx).load(xxx).asBitmap()

As stated in the GitHub issue I had opened at the time I faced that issue.
