ImageView showing grey square instead of image

I've tried several different ways but the imageview still show only a gray square. I'm testing on API 17.

Below are the options I've tried unsuccessfully:

• Configured the ImageView in XML to:

• fixed width and height; width and height to wrap_content; width to match_parent and height to wrap_content

• android: scaleType to "fitXY" and "centerCrop"
• android: adjustViewBounds to true | false;

Image loading methods tried:

binding.captcha.setImageBitmap (BitmapFactory.decodeFile (imgFile2.getAbsolutePath ())); 

Also tried this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/35830800/1764042

Tried Glide:

 Glide.with(this) .load (Uri.fromFile (imgFile2)) .skipMemoryCache (true) .diskCacheStrategy (DiskCacheStrategy.NONE) .override (150, 150) .centerCrop () .into (binding.captcha); 

The option below is the only that displays the image (in background), however I would like to know what could be happening to prevent me from displaying the image using default methods ...

 Drawable drawableImage = new BitmapDrawable(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile2.getAbsolutePath())); binding.captcha.setBackgroundDrawable(drawableImage); 

• Notes:
• imgFile2 is not empty, it is loaded from SD Card.
• imgFile2 is showing if I use it as background so the problem is not with the file.
• The problem is not simply solved with a lib, I'm already trying Glide... But if you Know what I need to do to make it work with glide...
• The imageView is inside a fragment, if it matters.

Current xml:

 <ImageView android:layout_width="150dp" android:layout_height="150dp" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:id="@+id/captcha"/>
