COVER // HOW WOULD YOU DESIGN AN ANDROID APPLICATION THAT EFFICIENTLY LOADS A LARGE SET OF IMAGES WHILE MINIMIZING MEMORY USAGE AND ENSURING SMOOTH SCROLLING IN A RECYCLERVIEW?

I would utilize an image loading library like Glide or Picasso to handle image caching and loading efficiently. Using a RecyclerView with a ViewHolder pattern, I’d ensure that images are only loaded when they are visible on the screen, and I’d implement view recycling to further reduce memory consumption.
