Caching

Images are cached transparently with a two-level in-memory/SD card caching strategy.

Soft-reference and (optional) LRU in-memory caches are supported.

Concurrency

Images are fetched in a background thread, keeping your UI responsive.

Multiple image requests can be in flight simultaneously. It's optimised for mobile data connections.

Open Source

ImageLoader uses the Apache License, Version 2.0.

The project is developed in the open on GitHub. You can fork the code, file bugs and submit pull requests.

Reliability

ImageLoader is used in commercial projects with hundreds of thousands of users.

Songkick, Podio, SecretDJ and Image Search are just a few of the apps using ImageLoader.
