I used the code in following link : another stackoverflow question

i made small changes in order to solve recycling view problem.i set the url of image to Tag of imageview in the adapter. Following code contains my solution that solves recycling problem:

public void fetchDrawableOnThread(final String urlString, final ImageView imageView,Drawable drw) {

    imageView.setImageDrawable(drw);//drw is default image
    if (drawableMap.containsKey(urlString)) {
        if(imageView.getTag().toString().equals(urlString))
        {
            imageView.setImageBitmap(drawableMap.get(urlString));
            imageView.invalidate();
            return;
        }

    }

    final Handler handler = new Handler() {
        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message message) {
            BitmapWrapper wrapper = (BitmapWrapper)message.obj;
            if(wrapper.imageurl.equals(imageView.getTag().toString()))
            {
                imageView.setImageBitmap((Bitmap)wrapper.bitmap);
                imageView.invalidate();
            }

        }
    };

    Thread thread = new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            //TODO : set imageView to a "pending" image

            Bitmap drawable = fetchDrawable(urlString);
            BitmapWrapper wrapper = new BitmapWrapper();
            wrapper.bitmap = drawable;
            wrapper.imageurl = urlString;
            Message message = handler.obtainMessage(1, wrapper);
            handler.sendMessage(message);
        }
    };
    thread.start();
}


    public class BitmapWrapper
{
    public Bitmap bitmap;
    public String imageurl;
}
