How to download image using volley and store in cache while image not in use

I am using volley library to download network responses. I know volley download images when it is needed only. But what I want to achieve is to download all the images at a time and store in my cache memory.

So basically I want to download all the images at once and store in cache so if there will no interenet also user can see all the images.

I am able to store images in cache using my own LruBitmapCache class.And to download images I am using following method

public void downloadImage(NetworkImageView view, MyApplication application, String imageUrl, Context ctx) {
    NetworkImageView image = view;
    ImageLoader loader = new ImageLoader(application.getRequestQueue(), new LruBitmapCache(
            LruBitmapCache.getCacheSize(ctx)));
    image.setImageUrl(imageUrl, loader);
}

This is working fine in downloading the images and storing in cache. But it is only downloading images those are in my main screen.

To download all the images I tried following method

public void downloadCoverImages(){

  int i = 0;

  for(ImageData data: GetData._instance.getImageList()){

    NetworkImageView iv = new NetworkImageView(BaseActivity.this);
    iv.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(300,150));

    GetData._instance.downloadImage(iv, (MyApplication) getApplicationContext(),
            data.getImages().getSmallImage(),BaseActivity.this);

    //Log.e("Download",++i+" "+data.getImages().getSmallImage());
  }

}

But it's not to download an image a proper ImageView is required I guess and that also needs to in main screen. So in this case what should I do?

My singleton class as follows:

public enum GetData {
    _instance;
    private List<Sections> sectionsList = new ArrayList<Sections>();
    private List<DealDetails> dealDetailsList = new ArrayList<DealDetails>();
    private DealDetails dealDetails;

    public List<Sections> getSectionsList() {
        return sectionsList;
    }

    public void setSectionsList(List<Sections> sectionsList) {
        this.sectionsList = sectionsList;
    }

    public List<DealDetails> getDealDetailsList() {
        return dealDetailsList;
    }

    public void setDealList(List<DealDetails> dealDetailsList) {
        this.dealDetailsList = dealDetailsList;
    }

    public DealDetails getDealDetails() {
        return dealDetails;
    }

    public void setDealDetails(DealDetails dealDetails) {
        this.dealDetails = dealDetails;
    }


    public void downloadImage(NetworkImageView view, MyApplication application, String imageUrl, Context ctx) {
        NetworkImageView image = view;
        ImageLoader loader = new ImageLoader(application.getRequestQueue(), new LruBitmapCache(
                LruBitmapCache.getCacheSize(ctx)));
        image.setImageUrl(imageUrl, loader);
    }
}

Is it possible if I download image without using volley and store in my LRUCache and show it using volley? Any good tutorial for that? Thnaks.

you can also get bitmap of remote image using volley imageloader.. in this way you don't need to have imageview and all 

imageLoader.get(data.getImages().getSmallImage(), new ImageLoader.ImageListener() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(ImageLoader.ImageContainer response, boolean isImmediate) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {

        }
    });

get the imageloader instance from volley singleton class. in your case you don't need to handle the imagelistener callbacks ..
