Answer 1

DEPRECATED for OkHttpClient v2.0.0 and higher

As Jesse Wilson pointed out you need to create your own cache.
The following code should create a 10MB cache.

File httpCacheDirectory = new File(application.getApplicationContext()
    .getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath(), "HttpCache");

HttpResponseCache httpResponseCache = null;
try {
   httpResponseCache = new HttpResponseCache(httpCacheDirectory, 10 * 1024);
} catch (IOException e) {
   Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Could not create http cache", e);
}

OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient();
okHttpClient.setResponseCache(httpResponseCache);
builder.setClient(new OkClient(okHttpClient));

The code is based on Jesse Wilsons example on Github.
