Features of the Image Utilities

1. Simple interface: The most basic image loading calls can be made with just an ImageView and a URL.

2. Full disk and memory cache implementation.

3. Disk and network access is automatically off the UI thread.

4. Rapidly releases references to Activities and Fragments when they are destroyed.

5. Images are auto-scaled to reduce memory consumption and minimize Out of Memory errors.

6. ListView/Adapter support: Only the most recently requested view is processed by the image system. This means that calling loadImage(...) on an ImageView will always display the correct image when used inside of adapters.

7. Images from the file system or from resources can be loaded through the image system. File system images requests will also be cached in memory for faster repeated access.

8. Automatic insertion of placeholder images, or "failed to load" images in the event of an error.

9. Supports custom animations when loading bitmaps to the view.

10. Includes a simple precaching system that speeds up the performance of adapters.
