One of the best ways is to use Matthias Käppler's ignited librarys to make http requests that caches the responses in memory (weak reference) and on file. Its really configurable to do one or the other or both.

The library is located here : https://github.com/mttkay/ignition with examples located here : https://github.com/mttkay/ignition/wiki/Sample-applications

Personally, I love this lib from when it was called Droidfu

Hope this helps you as much as it did me Ajay!
