Universal Image Loader

Android library #1 on GitHub. 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 but anyway UIL is still alive :)

Upcoming changes in new UIL version (1.9.4+)

Memory Cache redesign
Video file thumbnail support via file:///sdcard/video.mp4
New API: DisplayImageOptions.targetSize(ImageSize)
HTTP cache support
Consider BitmapFactory.Options.inBitmap
Time-to-live option for files in LruDiskCache

Features

Multithread 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 2.0+ support

Usage

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

// 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 display Bitmap in ImageView (or any other view 
//	which implements ImageAware interface)
imageLoader.displayImage(imageUri, imageView, options, new ImageLoadingListener() {
	@Override
	public void onLoadingStarted(String imageUri, View view) {
		...
	}
	@Override
	public void onLoadingFailed(String imageUri, View view, FailReason failReason) {
		...
	}
	@Override
	public void onLoadingComplete(String imageUri, View view, Bitmap loadedImage) {
		...
	}
	@Override
	public void onLoadingCancelled(String imageUri, View view) {
		...
	}
}, new ImageLoadingProgressListener() {
	@Override
	public void onProgressUpdate(String imageUri, View view, int current, int total) {
		...
	}
});

// 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);
