Android - downloading image from web, saving to internal memory in location private to app, displaying for list item

Question

What I\'m trying to do is this: I want my application to download an image from the Internet and save it to the phone\'s internal memory in a location that is private to the app

Answer 1

Looks like simply referring to the image file name when trying to read it was not enough, and I had to call getFilesDir() to get the path of the file storage. Below is the code I used:

String path = context.getFilesDir().toString();
String fileName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DbAdapter.KEY_PRODUCT_ID));

if (fileName != null && !fileName.equals("")) {
    Bitmap bMap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path + "/" + fileName);
    if (bMap != null) {
        thumbnail.setImageBitmap(bMap);
    }
}
