# Android-BitmapCache… the rebirth.

**[Chris Banes](https://daily.dev/sources/chrisbanes)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Android-BitmapCache is a refactored multi-level bitmap caching library for Android that combines memory and disk caching into a single unified API. Built on top of LruCache and Jake Wharton's DiskLruCache, it provides intelligent bitmap lifecycle management, bounded disk usage, and a builder pattern for easy configuration. The library includes a CacheableImageView component and exposes granular cache access methods for both memory and disk layers. Future plans include adding basic image fetching capabilities in v2.1.
