Is there a way to proactively load photos with Universal Image Loader?

Question

Is there a way to load the images that will come on the screen soon as opposed to loading the images that are currently in view?

Answer 1

If you're asking how to pre-load images so they are freshly cached, so that when the corresponding ImageView comes on screen the loading is nice and fast, you could use (somewhat untested):

String uri = getUriOfImageAboutToComeOnScreen(...);
ImageLoader.getInstance().loadImage(uri, null /* or use a listener */);

Of course, the magic contained in getUriOfImageAboutToComeOnScreen() is up to you :)
