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 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);
