Answer 1

Do not try Bitmap in the code. Just use simple Drawable image and implement its method like below. you will display image 100 percent

Drawable drw =LoadImageFromWebOperations(imageUrl);
image.setImageDrawable(drw);

return  image;

private Drawable LoadImageFromWebOperations(String strPhotoUrl) 
    {
        try
        {
        InputStream is = (InputStream) new URL(strPhotoUrl).getContent();
        Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src name");
        return d;
        }catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exc="+e);
        return null;
        }

Answer 2

Just use the following method to draw image from url:

Drawable drawable_from_url(String url, String src_name) throws 
   java.net.MalformedURLException, java.io.IOException 
{
   return Drawable.createFromStream(((java.io.InputStream)
      new java.net.URL(url).awagetContent()), src_name);
}

Just pass the string url to the method(and for src_name any string ) and it will return you a drawable object, then use setBckgroundDrawable() method of the imageview to set the background of the image.
