Image Cache
===========

An image download-and-cacher that also knows how to efficiently generate
and retrieve thumbnails of various sizes.

Features
--------

* easily integrates into content-provider backed applications, providing an
adapter that can read local and web URLs from a cursor
* automatic generation and caching of multiple sizes of images based on one
downloaded asset
* provides a disk cache as well as a memory cache
* automatic disk cache management; no setup necessary, but parameters can be
fine-tuned if desired
* designed to work with your existing setup: no extending a custom application
or activity needed
* cursor adapter supports multiple image fields for each ImageView; skips
fields that are null or empty
* cursor adapter has an automatic progress bar when loading the cursor

Using
-----

Please see the `test/` directory for both a simple example of using it as well as
some unit tests. When running the application in `test/` make sure to run it as
an Android activity if you want to see the demo.

Both the unit tests and the interactive test load some images from our lab's servers.
