Right now, I'm trying to modify ImageDownloader (http:// code.google.com/p/android-imagedownloader/source/browse/trunk/src/com/ example/android/imagedownloader/ImageDownloader.java) so I can implement a couple of enhancements particular to my app:
First, I am going to adapt the code to utilize hard and soft HashMaps for a few different types of bitmaps for different aspects of my app called from my singleton cache object. In other words, I will add a constructor that will specify the type of image that I want to cache (defined by a pre-determined State ID), that way, my cache object only saves to and loads from those particular HashMaps for that type of Bitmap I want to download. I am wondering whether I should just create pairs of hard and soft hashmaps like the class for every type of Bitmap I need to cache separately, or whether I should just create one soft hashmap that the other hard ones dump their old images into? Second, since I want to incorporate caching to either cache or SD card (via flag from constructor), would it make sense that it be the last check it performs in getBitmapFromCache, and if it does recover the image from SD, do I have to add it back to the hard cache? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
