Loading images from app assets using the Glide library

I switched my current project from Picasso to Glide. However, I am unable to load the image from the app assets. Is it 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 with no success and I don't see a load method like InputStream or FileDescriptor that I could get with the AssetManager class.

This exact code worked in Picasso.

Glide works correctly in the rest of the app and loads nicely deleted images.
