Android - receiving heavy data from the server. How is it better?

Question

Android

You need a good framework or maybe there is a technology already built into android with which you can make a good network application. The app is very similar to instagram. First of all, you are interested in convenient obtaining of images, music (and, if possible, video).
Before that, I did not work with the network, except for a simple json. Well, on java with sockets, it was tight.
I would be grateful for any good advice.
P.S. I came across the Android Query framework and Volley and many other libraries that have been written. I would like to know which one will work better if my files are heavy (receiving images, music, + - video). And of course, some text.
update:
Android Query hasn't been updated in a year. And based on the commits, this was added by tests and fixed something.

Answer 1

1. you don't need files, streaming video/audio is more suitable
2. I like the retrofit library
3. by no means send pictures in real size !!!
3 point and caps I say this from personal experience .... I can’t influence the server and it’s a pain ...

Answer 2

I have developed for myself a peculiar set of libraries that develop a style and roam from one project to another. OkHTTP, Retrofit, rxJava, Dagger, Picasso, ButterKnife.
