How can I cache images after they are downloaded from web?
Answer
And now the punchline: use the system cache.
URL url = new URL(strUrl);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setUseCaches(true);
Object response = connection.getContent();
if (response instanceof Bitmap) {
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)response;
}
Provides both memory and flash-rom cache, shared with the browser.
grr. I wish somebody had told ME that before i wrote my own cache manager.
