How to display an image from the internet in android?

Question

How can I display image in an ImageView in android from a URL (from the internet)?

Answer 1

first u need to hit image url and store the server Data as byte array, then u need to convert these byte data into Bitmap image.. Here is the code

                String myfeed="http://174.136.1.35/dev/atmsearch/visa.jpg";

                try{

                    URL url=new URL(myfeed);
                    URLConnection connection=url.openConnection();
                    connection.setDoOutput(true);
                    connection.setDoOutput(true);
                    connection.setRequestProperty("METHOD", "POST");
                    connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-from-urlencoded");

                    HttpURLConnection httpConnection=(HttpURLConnection)connection;

                    int responsecode=httpConnection.getResponseCode();

                    if(responsecode==HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK){
                        InputStream in=((URLConnection)httpConnection).getInputStream();
                        int len=0;
                        Bitmap b=BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);



                        System.out.println(b.toString());


                        byte[] data1=new byte[1024];

                        while(-1!=(len=in.read(data1))){
                            System.out.println("--input stream--");
                            datafromserver.append(new String(data1,0,len));

                        }
                        //System.out.println(datafromserver);
                    }

                }catch(IOException e){
                    System.out.println("Error...."+e);
                    //Toast.makeText(context, text, duration)

                }

// Now set the bitmap image in image view imageview.setImageBitmap(b);
