hi, thanks for creating this awesome library.

by default this library caches bitmaps (.urlimage files) into files directory.

is there an option to move it into cache directory? so users can delete the cache by "clear cache" button in android settings.
or do i just fork this and change it manually?
is there any particular reason why you used files and not cache directory?
thanks.

I'd actually check out Ion, it is the successor to this library.

https://github.com/koush/ion

In particular, it does a lot of things that UrlImageViewHelper does not:

cache directory
disk lru cache
better API
transforms and animations
supports multiple instances
request modification

You are welcome to change UrlImageViewHelper to use a disklrucache in the cache directory, I'd accept the pull request.
