Short answer: No.

Long answer: I don't want to do that.

This component started as a possible replacement in one of the apps i am currently working on. In our project (as in most of the projects out there) we were already using a 3rd party library to download stuff asynchronously from the web (or maybe you are using your own?).

There are so many good libraries/components out there (i.e. SDWebImage or AsyncImageView just to name a couple), that it would be pointless for me to reinvent the wheel and create yet another one.

Also, i do not want to force any other dependency on people who decide to use this component. Instead, i am trying to keep it as simple as possible and focusing on the photo browsing experience.

It takes about half an hour to add asynchronous image loading if you really need that feature. I encourage you to fork the project and give it a try :)
