Android-Universal-Image-Loader

Universal Image Loader

The great ancestor of modern image-loading libraries :)
UIL aims to provide a powerful, flexible and highly customizable instrument for image loading, caching and displaying. It provides a lot of configuration options and good control over the image loading and caching process.

Project News

• Really have no time for development... so I stop project maintaining since Nov 27 :(
• UIL [27.11.2011 - 27.11.2015]
• Thanks to all developers for your support :)

Features

• Multi-thread image loading (async or sync)
• Wide customization of ImageLoader's configuration (thread executors, downloader, decoder, memory and disk cache, display image options, etc.)
• Many customization options for every display image call (stub images, caching switch, decoding options, Bitmap processing and displaying, etc.)
• Image caching in memory and/or on disk (device's file system or SD card)
• Listening loading process (including downloading progress)

Android 4.1+ support

Usage

Dependency

implementation 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.5'

Acceptable URIs examples

"http://site.com/image.png" // from Web
"file:///mnt/sdcard/image.png" // from SD card
"file:///mnt/sdcard/video.mp4" // from SD card (video thumbnail)
"content://media/external/images/media/13" // from content provider
"content://media/external/video/media/13" // from content provider (video thumbnail)
"assets://image.png" // from assets
"drawable://" + R.drawable.img // from drawables (non-9patch images)

NOTE: Use drawable:// only if you really need it! Always consider the native way to load drawables - ImageView.setImageResource(...) instead of using of ImageLoader.

Simple

ImageLoader imageLoader = ImageLoader.getInstance(); // Get singleton instance

// Load image, decode it to Bitmap and display Bitmap in ImageView (or any other view 
//	which implements ImageAware interface)
imageLoader.displayImage(imageUri, imageView);

// Load image, decode it to Bitmap and return Bitmap to callback
imageLoader.loadImage(imageUri, new SimpleImageLoadingListener() {
	@Override
	public void onLoadingComplete(String imageUri, View view, Bitmap loadedImage) {
		// Do whatever you want with Bitmap
	}
});

// Load image, decode it to Bitmap and return Bitmap synchronously
Bitmap bmp = imageLoader.loadImageSync(imageUri);

Complete

…

// Load image, decode it to Bitmap and return Bitmap to callback
ImageSize targetSize = new ImageSize(80, 50); // result Bitmap will be fit to this size
imageLoader.loadImage(imageUri, targetSize, options, new SimpleImageLoadingListener() {
	@Override
	public void onLoadingComplete(String imageUri, View view, Bitmap loadedImage) {
		// Do whatever you want with Bitmap
	}
});

// Load image, decode it to Bitmap and return Bitmap synchronously
ImageSize targetSize = new ImageSize(80, 50); // result Bitmap will be fit to this size
Bitmap bmp = imageLoader.loadImageSync(imageUri, targetSize, options);
