Images are one of the most cached items in any application. ColdStorage library provides a very easy way to load an image and cache it directly into an ImageView.

Usage :-


 @LoadImage(
        R.id.image_1,
        "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1549740425-5e9ed4d8cd34?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&w=1000&q=80",
        placeHolder = R.drawable.loading, enableLoadingAnimation = true
    )
    lateinit var imageWithAnimation: ImageView

 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.load_image_example)
        Cache.bind(this)
    }

The image view will bind the variable with its resource id and take care of loading the image after downloading it from the URL into it.

Additionally, it can also show a placeholder image and loading animation until the image is downloaded.
