Loading image from storage

Question

I have an image that I loaded by using URLImage class. Here is the code:

EncodedImage placeholder = EncodedImage.createFromImage(Image.createImage(getWidth()/2, getWidth()/2 , 0xF92D2D), true);
Image originImg = URLImage.createToStorage(placeholder, imgFileName, photo_url);

To my understanding, this image is being saved into Storage with createToStorage() method. However, next time when I am loading this form, I don't want to download the image again, I want to take it from the Storage, because its faster. So what I did, I added check :

if (Storage.getInstance().exists(imgFileName)) {
        // Take the image from the Storage
    originImg = Image.createImage(Storage.getInstance().createInputStream(imgFileName));
} else {
        // Load the image with URLImage class.
}

However, it seems like my file is never saved into the Storage. What can be wrong?

You don't need to do that. URLImage seamlessly loads the file from storage if the file is already there. You can open the network monitor and see if a request is made to the URL for this specific image.

I'm not sure why the Storage.getInstance().exists(imgFileName) method would fail. I assume the image name is different in the different execution or something of that sort. You can see that images are created in your .cn1 directory.
