Answer 1

You can download the whole text first, then the images only as they are displayed. Don't download the whole list of images, because maybe most of them are never going to be shown.

Try to go a step ahead from the user. For instance, if the list can display 6 images when you first enter the activity, have these 6 prefetched before you switch to this activity, and pass them via Intent. You can also have a thread that downloads the following (3 or 4) images that would be displayed if the user scrolls down.

To speed up the process, consider have the images pre-scaled, so their size is smaller and the download is faster.
