[Feat Request] Caching for url assets out of the box

[sarthakpranesh]

Description

I noticed on iOS network resource caching is working which is expected, but on android we don't have any cache layer control even though we are using Volley which provides response caching (maybe right now it works only if headers are provided?)

While implementing Rive in React Native it felt as the package also supports caching out of the box, which is not the case right now while other platform SDKs do provide it. I feel we should mention this somewhere in documentation (maybe a small note in Loading in Rive files section) for React Native implementation.

Provide a Repro

              <Rive
                url="https://someurl/qwerty.riv"
                fit={Fit.Contain}
                autoplay={true}
              />

Source .riv/.rev file

.riv

Expected behavior

I expected the animation file to be cached across app launches on both platforms android as well as ios

@sarthakpranesh their react-native documentation is pretty misleading unfortunately, I had the same problem with the "onLoad" missing callback, not documented.

Did you find a way to add a cache layer?

[sarthakpranesh]

Hey @christophemenager
Yes, if you examine the code the package is using Volley. So I created a patch that uses Volley's caching capability on Android to cache Rive animation files.

@sarthakpranesh that's amazing! Would you be willing to share the patch here?
It could help mothers and maybe inspire the rive team for a PR
