Can you pin parse files/ images to the local datastore?

Question

If not what is a good way to cache images locally?

-- Note: I am coding for Android.

Answer 1

Picasso .

Many common pitfalls of image loading on Android are handled automatically by Picasso:

Handling ImageView recycling and download cancelation in an adapter.
Complex image transformations with minimal memory use.
Automatic memory and disk caching.

When you want to send the image to your cloud, you could use ParseFile in conjunction with Picasso , get the bytes from the image and save() or saveInBackground() .
