Hi , You can store images in cache for smooth transition or you can use library android Universal-Image-Loader
https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader

Example URL:

"http://site.com/image.png" // from Web
"file:///mnt/sdcard/image.png" // from SD card
"file:///mnt/sdcard/video.mp4" // from SD card (video thumbnail)
"content://media/external/images/media/13" // from content provider
"content://media/external/video/media/13" // from content provider (video thumbnail)
"assets://image.png" // from assets
"drawable://" + R.drawable.img // from drawables (non-9patch images)

I am sure you can get smooth transition and memory utilization.

if you have any trouble let me know i will post another example in my blog for smooth transition.

Thank you,

Munish
