Question

I need to fetch images and some other data from server and then display it in the List. But as the number of records can be pretty large so I am not sure if I should save images to SQLite database or save it to SDCard or save those to memory.

Thanks,

Always make a habit of saving images path to database. For a list view, be sure just to use those image’s thumbnail. This will help you in fast loading of these images in list.

 long selectedImageUri = ContentUris.parseId(Uri.parse(anniEntry.getUri()));
 Bitmap bm = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(
                    mContext.getContentResolver(), selectedImageUri,MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MICRO_KIND,
                    null );

Here anniEntry.getUri() is the image uri.Now,put it in second code.U can get micro or mini thumbnail according to requirement
