Every night, request new images and cache

Make actions in this class open a new thread when they start network actions, otherwise the app will have freezing issues when this is called from the settings or dreamservice activities.
Here is documentation on multithreading in Java: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html
Last time I created a Remoteimage class which contains constructor for all
variables. Now I have to create a vector to go through the Remoteimage
instance to scan the contents of the Remoteimage object?
To do the scan, first I have to create the Remoteimage instance and then
download information into the instance. After downloading information, I
will use the vector which is like an array to scan through it?
To download the information, I will use the link "Relevant Stack Overflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8089189/get-the-
response-of-a-http-get-request" which you sent it to me last time to do it
Tell me if I understand my task is wrong. I not really understand my task
so I write this to ask you
Let me know your answer

The data should flow like this:
- App sends a request for the remote API to send the JSON list of image addresses and info
- JSON list is recieved by app and stored
- JSON list is split into string groups, and stored in RemoteImage objects
- RemoteImage objects, when created, are filtered. If the RemoteImage object author is also an author checked in the settings panel, it is added to a Results vector. If not, it is discarded.
- The Result vector is looped through, downloading the urls contained to local locations. The local path should be stored in the RemoteImage it corresponds to.
I can help with multithreading after this is done. None of this needs to directly modify the UI thread, so that should be fairly simple.
