i am working on displaying an image and placing an icon on top of it... clicking the icon will show an enlarged version of the image...
though putting the imageview
developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html
developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/BitmapFactory.html
refer this link.
Bitmap mIcon1 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),R.drawable.twitter_icon);
imgview.setImageBitmap(mIcon1);
convert your image to bitmap and use. hope it works.....
EDIT:
URL img_value = new URL(string_url_input);
if (profile != null) {
Bitmap mIcon1 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(img_value.openConnection().getInputStream());
image_view.setImageBitmap(mIcon1);
}
