Ive i have two images from a URL into my gallery view. But when i go to another activity the images are reloaded again from online. I would like to request this once per application instance. How would i go about saving the state of this?
/** Simple Constructor saving the 'parent' context. */
public ImageAdapter(Context c) { this.myContext = c; }
/** Returns the amount of images we have defined. */
public int getCount() { return this.myRemoteImages.length; }
/* Use the array-Positions as unique IDs */
public Object getItem(int position) { return position; }
public long getItemId(int position) { return position; }
/** Returns a new ImageView to
* be displayed, depending on
* the position passed. */
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ImageView i = new ImageView(this.myContext);
try {
/* Open a new URL and get the InputStream to load data from it. */
URL aURL = new URL(myRemoteImages[position]);
URLConnection conn = aURL.openConnection();
conn.connect();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
/* Buffered is always good for a performance plus. */
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
/* Decode url-data to a bitmap. */
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis);
bis.close();
is.close();
/* Apply the Bitmap to the ImageView that will be returned. */
i.setImageBitmap(bm);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("DEBUGTAG", "Remtoe Image Exception", e);
}
/* Image should be scaled as width/height are set. */
i.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);
/* Set the Width/Height of the ImageView. */
i.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(150, 150));
return i;
}
/** Returns the size (0.0f to 1.0f) of the views
* depending on the 'offset' to the center. */
public float getScale(boolean focused, int offset) {
/* Formula: 1 / (2 ^ offset) */
return Math.max(0, 1.0f / (float)Math.pow(2, Math.abs(offset)));
}
}
public class ImageAdapter2 extends BaseAdapter {
/** The parent context */

// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

You can save the images in separate as static or you can put them in HashMap(key is URL,value is image bitmap) for later use or you can do lazy downloading of images or finally you can use Application class(see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Application.html to maintain global state) but it is not good thing to store the images(generally it will create memory problems),make them download every time using lazy loading.
