Android: download images and save them as cache

I have this class which downloads images from the web, and I need to modify my code so the downloaded images are saved on the SDCard. Since I take this code from the internet and I'm a beginner, I'm pretty clueless to optimize it for the cache things.

I'm open to any kind of solution.

public class ImageThreadLoader {
    private static final String TAG = "ImageThreadLoader";

    // Global cache of images.
    // Using SoftReference to allow garbage collector to clean cache if needed
    private final HashMap<String, SoftReference<Bitmap>> Cache = new HashMap<String,  SoftReference<Bitmap>>();

    private final class QueueItem {
        public URL url;
        public ImageLoadedListener listener;
    }
    private final ArrayList<QueueItem> Queue = new ArrayList<QueueItem>();

    private final Handler handler = new Handler();  // Assumes that this is started from the main (UI) thread
    private Thread thread;
    private QueueRunner runner = new QueueRunner();;

    /** Creates a new instance of the ImageThreadLoader */
    public ImageThreadLoader() {
        thread = new Thread(runner);
    }

    /**
     * Defines an interface for a callback that will handle
     * responses from the thread loader when an image is done
     * being loaded.
     */
    public interface ImageLoadedListener {
        public void imageLoaded(Bitmap imageBitmap );
    }

    /**
     * Provides a Runnable class to handle loading
     * the image from the URL and settings the
     * ImageView on the UI thread.
     */
    private class QueueRunner implements Runnable {
        public void run() {
            synchronized(this) {
                while(Queue.size() > 0) {
                    final QueueItem item = Queue.remove(0);

                    // If in the cache, return that copy and be done
                    if( Cache.containsKey(item.url.toString()) && Cache.get(item.url.toString()) != null) {
                        // Use a handler to get back onto the UI thread for the update
                        handler.post(new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {
                                if( item.listener != null ) {
                                    // NB: There's a potential race condition here where the cache item could get
                                    //     garbage collected between when we post the runnable and it's executed.
                                    //     Ideally we would re-run the network load or something.
                                    SoftReference<Bitmap> ref = Cache.get(item.url.toString());
                                    if( ref != null ) {
             开发者_StackOverflow中文版                           item.listener.imageLoaded(ref.get());

You can store bitmaps using the compress method of Bitmap class : here

My own code is:

FileOutputStream os = null;
try {
    os = new FileOutputStream(
            new File(   
                   android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(),
                fileName));

    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, os);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
    if (os != null) {
        try {
            os.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

It allows you to write a bitmap on SD card.

To open a bitmap stored on SD card use the decodeFile() method from BitmapFactory class: here

You should also verify if you can read and write on your SD card using: android.os.environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().canRead() and android.os.environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().canWrite() methods.
