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 hit the image link,then you will get the image as byte array.Now just decode the byte array to bitmap image.Lets take a look:

package Image.Read.a;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;

public class Connecetion1
{
 public void setNetwork()
 {
    try
    {

        URL url = new URL("http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9UYLMDqrnnE/S4UgSrTt8LI/AAAAAAAADxI/drlWsmQ8HW0/s400/sachin_tendulkar_double_century.jpg");

        URLConnection connection=url.openConnection();

        HttpURLConnection HCon=(HttpURLConnection)connection;

        int ResCode=HCon.getResponseCode();

        System.out.println("Responce Code is = "+ResCode);


        if(ResCode==HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK)
        {

        InputStream ins=((URLConnection)HCon).getInputStream();   

              Data.StoreImg=BitmapFactory.decodeStream(ins);


        }

    }
    catch (MalformedURLException e)
        {

        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e)
        {

          e.printStackTrace();
         }

 }

}
