This project came about as part of my blog post: http://www.senab.co.uk/2012/07/01/android-bitmap-caching-revisited/

The basic premise is a LruCache used for Bitmap management on Android. Each Bitmap is reference counted, both my ImageViews and the Cache. When the bitmap is no longer being used or cached, it is recycled and the memory freed.

I have added a sample app to the source since, which can also be downloaded from the Downloads tab above. The sample app shows you how to use the library by creating a ViewPager of images downloaded from the web. These are cached in the LruCache.

The easy way to use the library is by downloading the JAR file under the 'Downloads' tab, and importing it into your Eclipse project.
