Additionally, see the note in http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/cache-bitmap.html, which says that using SoftReferences for a bitmap cache as the current implementation does is not recommended.

Even easier, use http://corner.squareup.com/2013/05/picasso-one-dot-oh.html to take care of fetching and caching the image.

I've described how I hacked up my build.gradle directly here: https://github.com/excilys/androidannotations/issues/517#issuecomment-14355119 You can do the same thing until somebody who understands gradle better than I do makes a nice plugin.

What additional development would you like? I will not add ads.
