understanding glide's caching mechanism: a deep dive

glide is a powerful and versatile image loading library for android that significantly simplifies the process of displaying images from various sources. one of its key features is its sophisticated caching system, which dramatically improves performance by reducing redundant network requests and image decoding. this tutorial delves into the internals of glide's caching, exploring the different cache layers, how keys are generated, and providing code examples to illustrate its usage.

*why caching is important:*

*performance:* avoids repeated downloads and decoding of the same image, leading to faster loading times and a smoother user experience.
*bandwidth savings:* reduces data usage by retrieving images from the cache instead of repeatedly downloading them.
*reduced server load:* decreases the number of requests to your image servers, which can be critical for high-traffic applications.
*offline access:* allows access to previously loaded images even when the device is offline (if configured properly).

*glide's cache hierarchy:*

glide employs a multi-layered caching system that provides a balance between speed and storage efficiency. these layers are:

1. *active resources:* (memory cache)
2. *memory cache:* (lru cache, resized images)
3. *disk cache:* (original & transformed images)

*1. active resources (memory cache):*

*purpose:* holds references to actively displayed `bitmap`s. this is the fastest cache, as accessing a `bitmap` in memory is significantly quicker than any other cache layer.
*mechanism:* when an image is currently being displayed in an `imageview`, glide keeps a strong reference to the `bitmap` in the active resources cache. this prevents the `bitmap` from being garbage collected as long as it's actively being used.
*key characteristics:*
*smallest size:* designed to hold only the `bitmap`s that are actually being displayed on ...
