Android - What's the fastest way to get drawable from url?

Question

In my news activity I need to load images from the web server to place them in ListView. I have found many ways to load image from url. I find this solution as the most effective: how to set image from url for imageView

It works fine when I have 1-4 news in a list. But the problem occurs when I load the past 30 days news. My list becomes very long and the images aren't get loaded even after 2-3 minutes though I make all the thumbs 4-5 KB. Even if I scroll the list, images are getting unloaded again.

In this image I test the app on Genymotion. I opened the activity and chose the news from past 30 days. Everything works fine because I use virtual server.

But when I test it on my phone, with real server, the problem occurs. Is there any optimal way?

use glide library (preferable) and hold image cache with it. — Junaid Hafeez, Jan 20 '17 at 21:56

I have not tried it yet, I'm familiar with picaso and Universal image loader which are very good, but I trust you about glide. – Yoleth Jan 20 '17 at 22:22
Glide works perfectly. Very simple code and very easy loading. Thank You! – Hayk Abelyan Jan 21 '17 at 11:33
