Solution 1:

Yes, you can, at least for Android 2.3 and lower.

If you want to see the entire cache folder, it is situated here:

<android cache dir>/<your app package>/cache/webviewCache/

If you already know the URL of the cached image, you can get the actual file so:

Stringuri="http://the url of the image that you need";
StringhashCode= String.format("%08x", uri.hashCode());
Filefile=newFile(newFile(getCacheDir(), "webviewCache"), hashCode);
// if the call file.exist() returns true, then the file presents in the cache
